Brief Answer:
Symptoms are more suggestive of migraine.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.

I have noted your clinical details. Based on this, the most likely cause of your headache is migraine. For relief, you can take naproxen tablets. If headaches recur at frequent intervals, then, preventive medications may be needed.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
