Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.
In view of details provided by you,this headache appears to be 'Tension type headache'(TTH) or Stress headache,rather than Migraine.
I suggest you to start doing some regular mental relaxation exercises like meditation/yoga.This may prove to be beneficial.
Further,if headache is severe and troublesome,medication can be started. Amitriptyline is the drug of choice in this case.
PLEASE TAKE MEDICINES UNDER A PHYSICIAN'S GUIDANCE.
Hope that I have answered your query.If you have some follow-up questions,I shall be glad to answer else please close the thread,rate it and write a review as your rating will be of help to me.
