Chronic headache is a very disabling symptom. It can lead the mood change, irritability, chronic fatigue, depression and sleep problems. All the above can also cause headache in turn. Have you gotten MRI or any other investigations done? Does medicine give temporary relief? Are there any aggravating or relieving factors?

Please get a complete evaluation done. See a specialist.

Hello,
Headache can be caused due to number of reasons. Headache associated with vision problem is usually associated with working on screens or working under dim light. Headache associated with underlying stress is usually of mild to moderate intensity and not increased by any physical activity. If there is associated running nose, lacrimation, nausea, vomiting, intolerance to voice and light it can be cluster or migraine type. There are good medications available to take care of all types of headache.

Hi,
women have migraine issues during, before or after their periods due to harmonal changes. This migraine sometimes can last for a whole day. Since you're saying that not all the time she has this problem, make sure if it's a menstrual migraine.
Some other emotional triggers for migraine are stress, anxiety & fears.
Next Steps
As your wife has no vomiting & nausea, it will not be so serious.don't worry.she can do her check up with a gynaecologist..
Health Tips
if it's not menstrual migraine, it may be due to emotional reasons like stress.. helping her to alleviate the stress will be helpful in long term. any of the relaxation techniques will be very effective.

Hi Sir
Thanks for seeking help here.
I would like to suggest you sir that headache usually a manifestation of underlying pathology. So we would like to evaluate the character of headache.
Like tension headache happens after stressors and it's a band like sensation and all over the head.
Migraine usually unilateral with throbbing and last for days , increases with light and sound and decreased with sleep. Gastritis and sleep disturbances aggravates it. It's due to vasodilation.
Similarly we need a detail evaluation of all underlying pathology. If needed will go for few tests and will manage for a define shot. I would recommend please have evaluation with neurology or with us in Practo.
We will help you out.
Regards
Jitendriya
