Question : Hi,

a) I have a history of Brain Anuerysum clipping 7 years back.
b) I have persistent headaches after that.
c) I am currently on Nexito Forte
d) Headache becomes more with Sun and Sound

Will it be useful to try putting an ice pack or an ice towel when in sun to prevent sun triggered headaches? Or it can have any other side effects and should not be used?

Thanks and Regards,
XXXXXXX
