Hello!
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms are probably related to a panic disorder. A close monitoring of your blood pressure is also necessary, in order to exclude high blood pressure during those episodes of headache.
I would also recommend starting escitalopram or sertraline for a period of some months in order to prevent these episodes from occurring and also help manage your panic attacks.
Yoga and meditation can improve your situation too.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above treatment options!
Hope to have been helpful!
Best regards!
