Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I agree with you that the most important thing is to find out the cause of
headaches. Whether is
migraine or is it related to ASD closure? If ASD closure was done properly and there were no clots dislodged to the brain, and the CT/
MRI scan so the brain are normal, then, it is unlikely that her headaches are due to ASD closure.
In that case, migraine as a diagnosis can be considered. If she has occasional headaches, then, intermittent analgesics may be used. However, if she has frequent headaches, then, preventive therapy with one of the medications such as beta blockers,
flunarizine, divlaproex or
topiramate may be considered.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
