My wife is 43 years old. She has for the past few months almost daily bad headaches. Initially she used to take disprin/stomach (sometimes more than 1 tablet) to get relief. But after sometime they too did not work. We consulted a doctor who said the symptoms are like migraine. He prescribed Naproxen for the headaches. Almost everyday morning she has to take it after breakfast to get relief. The symptoms are bad headache, dizziness and sometimes nauseas feeling. We too had our annual health check up last week wherein all reports like blood, urine,heart etc were perfect. Would like to know if any additional tests need to be done to ascertain whether its migraine or something else? Just for your info, she is otherwise very active.

Symptoms seems to be of migraine only. I hope there is no pain in shoulder region. The best treatment of migraine is its management. You can opt for homoeopathy for effective treatment. Trigger factors for migraine could be anything like flashes of light, loud noise, any smell good or bad and any tension/ stress. If during attack she prefers dark and quiet then it is more likely migraine.

Diagnosis of migraine is clinical and most cases tests like CT scan etc is not needed. Headache associated with nausea ,generally unilateral, moderate to severe in intensity, associated with photophobia, phonophobia and visual aura is classic migraine .But it is not necessary for all symptoms to be present to diagnose migraine. Please continue with your medication and follow up with your doctor. Find trigger factor of migraine like sleep deprivation, hunger,coffee, hormonal imbalance, exertion,etc and avoid them.
