Brief Answer: My reply is below. Detailed Answer: Hi Mr XXXX, Thank you for posting your query on Healthcare Magic! First of all, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms are not serious and there is no need to worry about them. The most likely cause of your headaches could be muscle tension headaches, also referred to as tension headaches. As of now, you can be started on medications such as dothiepin (prothiaden). If you do not get better, then, a brain scan may be done to exclude any internal brain problem. I hope my reply has helped you. I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
