Suggest Medication To Cure Headaches, Eye Pain And Leg Pain

Hi, I ve been experiencing more frequent headaches that my migraine medication and/or ibuprofen does not resolve. They are located at the base of my skull in the back of neck, and I ve also experienced eye pain/pressure. The last three weeks I ve also experienced my legs jerking once every so often in a day. Is this symptomatic of a health issue I might have?

patient’s symptoms and answers to questions concerning family history of similar symptoms, medication use, the presence of other symptoms or medical conditions, or problems with daytime sleepiness help in diagnosing this. regular exercise , sleep , and decreasing the use of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco, may be helpful. Treatment of an RLS-associated condition also may provide relief of symptoms.
Leg massages,Hot baths or heating pads or ice packs applied to the legs,
Good sleep habits,A vibrating pad called Relaxis will help control the condition, decrease symptoms, and improve sleep.
