Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and this could be suggestive of migraine.

Photophobia (increased sensitivity to sunlight or bright light) and worsening of headaches is a common feature of migraine.

The easier option for you would be avoid sunlight or other bright lights.

If headaches still persist, you may start on preventive migraine medications, such as beta blockers or topiramate to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.

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.
     
Best wishes,
