Doctor, he have been having episodic headaches for 6 months. They are throbbing and moderate to severe. Before or during attacks, I get visual disturbances like flashing lights and sometimes difficulty speaking. I also feel light sensitivity, dizziness, and sometimes red eyes and nasal congestion. After the headache, I feel tired with brain fog and neck soreness. Everything returns to normal after the episode. I want to know if this is migraine with aura and whether I need an MRI or treatment.”
It sometimes comes after travelling or getting exposed to sunlight, sometimes with little movements too

Get an MRI Brain with contrast to rule out any pathology.
If normal then we can think of EEG.
It may be migraine…
How frequent the headaches come? Like in how many days once and whether in mornings or evenings?
