I would like to know some further details about headache and other symptoms:
1) Since when you started to have these headaches? How many years? Did it start only six years ago or used to occur before also?
2) In which part of the head you feel headaches? (You can attach your photo, clicked from a little distance, with hand-kept over part of the head, where you feel headache. Can attach two to three photos from front or sides if headache area is large)
3) What kind of headaches you feel, heaviness, bursting, squeezing, stretching, throbbing, or some other kind?
4) One episode of headache lasts for how long duration (without pain killer tablet)?
5) Do you feel any nausea or vomiting during headache episodes?

11) How is your vision for distant objects and near objects?
12) Have you undergone CT (computed tomography) scan or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) for headaches or other tests? If yes, please send their reports as an attachment. Also, send other tests which you underwent before.
Answer the following questions about vertigo and unsteadiness:
1) what exactly you feel during such episodes?

9) How is your usual mood in day-to-day activities? Happy or toward the sad side (thinking about past events) or the worried side (thinking about future things, irritable or something else)?

I suggest you do MRI Brain with contrast (bilateral inner and middle ear sections), ECG (electrocardiography), two-dimensional echocardiology, CBC (complete blood count), LFT (liver function test), KFT (kidney function test), T3, T4, and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). Get an ophthalmology consultation to look for refraction, IOP (intraocular pressure), or fundus. Please answer the above questions so that I can guide you accordingly.
