Headaches that worsen around your period, with pain around the eyebrows and the back of the head, often point to a hormonal or menstrual migraine, which tends to show up more as periods start changing in the years before menopause. Two years of this pattern is worth confirming rather than just managing symptom by symptom.
Next Steps
See a gynaecologist to check whether your cycles are changing and if this fits a perimenopausal pattern, and a physician can rule out other causes like high blood pressure or eye strain. Noting which days of your cycle the headaches are worst will help whoever you see.
Health Tips
Get checked urgently if a headache comes on suddenly and severely, or comes with blurred vision, weakness, or confusion.
