Brief Answer:
It may be migraine.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thank for your information.
According to your explanation it may be migraine which can trigger by food or sunlight.
I suggest you try to notice which kind of food is causing pain.
And I also suggest you check your eyesight by ophthalmologist.
Other possibility is continuous staring at computer can cause headache. Give 5 minutes break every one hour.
Or
Skipping of meals like breakfast or lunch can cause headache.
Eat small amounts of food frequently.
Empty stomach or hungry stomach can increase intensity of pain.
I suggest you Paracetamol 650 mg for pain after food. Use it sparingly.
Drink plenty of water.
If you will not get relive with any of above suggestions then I suggest you visit a neurologist.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
