Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are suggestive of migraine.
Detailed Answer:
Hi mr XXXX,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your clinical details and also seen the MRI report. Based on the symptoms, it is suggestive of migraine. I agree Sibelium and tryptomer cause lot of sleepiness.
For you, better options would be Topiramate or Propranolol. These medicines do not cause sleepiness and are more effective. The purpose of these medicines is to reduce the severity and frequency of headache episodes.
For headache, you can take Naprosyn or Rizatriptan tablets, as and when you get headaches (maximum 2 per day).
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
