Patient's Query
Hello doctor.
I am a 37-year-old male. I have had regular and terrible migraine attacks for the past few years, which have had a substantial impact on my quality of life. I feel it is past time to seek expert assistance to properly understand and manage this disease. How can I tell whether my recurring headaches are migraines? Can you describe the important migraine traits and symptoms for an appropriate diagnosis? Are there common migraine triggers, and how can I identify and prevent them? What drugs are available for migraine treatment and prevention, and how do they work? Is there a drug or therapy that works better for various types of migraines?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Considering your frequent migraine symptoms, various symptoms, including headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and visual distortion, may be utilized to determine if the headache is caused by a migraine. Stress, sickness, a brain tumor, a lack of sleep, and a history of head trauma are all major contributors. Performing laboratory testing annually might help you find them. Tablet Cafergot (antimigraine), tablet Sumatriptan (triptan), laser therapy for cancer, and surgical surgery for abscess or blood drainage are among the medications.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
