Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. Since you have frequent episodes of headaches, you should be started on preventive medications.

Good options include flunarizine, divalproex, topiramate and beta blockers. These medications would reduce the severity and frequency of headaches.

In addition, for headache, you may take rizatriptan or sumatriptan tablets.

I hope my reply has helped you.
