General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a migraine. I recommend trying to use anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.

If the symptoms continue I recommend seeing a neurologist for prescription medication such as Triptans.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
