Headache/migraine

2021-08-03 17:18:23
I am having severe headache atleast once in a week. It comes immediately after outdoor travel. Consulted a neurologist and an eye specialist. Both were of the opinion that it's migraine. Still a CT scan is required to prove the same. What should be my next course of action?

CT scan in possible migraine headache has low yield. Get MRI brain with contrast do asess intracranial pathology if any or vascular abnormalities. It appears you also have light sensitivity so prefer dark calm room for acute attack. And limit activity during migraine attacks. Consult specialist
