May I know if I am receiving the right treatment for my headache?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query, and I understand your concern. Regarding the first brain injury incident, I understand that collection of blood was there following the skull fracture. I guess it was an extradural hemorrhage. It is not always necessary to perform surgery in such cases as sometimes the risk of surgery is more than the collection of blood. On other occasions (probably this was the case for you), the amount of blood collected between the scalp layers was too low, and there was no possibility of complication suspected. In my view, they have done the right things as there was no complication across the last six months, and you did not suffer any bad event during this period. I assume this was the case; if not so you can clarify. Although a CT (computed tomography) scan or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is not necessary for a patient with migraine, pain localized to the injured area in the past warrants proper evaluation by blood work and brain imaging using either CT scan or MRI brain. In my view, they need to look beyond the migraine when you have tortuous vessels and chronic migraine. Having said this, I request you to post the following details for your migraine so I can assist you in its management. 1. For how long are you suffering from this problem? How was it started? Whether it was acute or slowly increased over time? Please let me know the frequency of headache, days lost due to headache in a typical month, nature of headache, factors relieving or aggravating headache, duration of headache for a typical episode, and associated symptoms. 2. Is there any history of similar complaints in the family? Do you have any other medical illnesses? 3. Also, let me know the medications tried to date and their response. After evaluating the information on all aspects of your illness, I will revert to you with possible suggestions and guidance.
