"Hello Doctor,
I have been experiencing migraine attacks for the past 2 years, at least once a month. During an attack, I experience:
Severe headache, mostly on the left side, sometimes spreading to shoulder and neck
Nausea and vomiting
Irritability and fatigue
Difficulty performing daily activities
My main triggers are: bright light and strong smells (perfumes, incense, etc.).
Could you please advise:
1. Recommended tests or diagnosis for this type of migraine?
2. Effective treatments or preventive measures?
3. Lifestyle or dietary changes that may help?
4. Immediate steps to take if the pain suddenly worsens?
Thank you."
