Doctor, I use to have frequent headaches while being in hot climate from last five years. Presently I'm working as engineer in foundry plant for last two months and problem has exaggerated since then. Sometimes I also gets headache while starring at light, sometimes below ceiling fan. Pain only gets down with time or compression or sleeping. Before this I tried Mentat, Ayurvedic medicines. I also feel like I have developed short term memory problem in between. Need your help!

Few things related to headache so that we can plan the treatment accordingly - if pain is associated with blurred or decreased vision than check your eye sight for refractive error - if the pain is associated with cold and fever than we have to rule out sinusitis as the cause and if the pain is pulsatile in nature and with a throbbing pain usually with an aura than we have to rule out migrane as the cause - if the pain is associated with neck problems than we have to rule out cervical spondylosis as the cause - if the pain is associated with either low or high bp or due to hyperacidity than we have to treat the cause after examination.
