I am suffering from an unknown gastrointestinal illness from March 2017 till date.
I have fainted with blackouts twice once in Dec 2017 and then in Jan 2018 . The doctor said that this is because of vasovagal faint and has nothing to do with neurology. But one doctor advised me to go for a MRI Brain to rule out my problems. An MRI was conducted in July 2018 whose report is attached below for your perusal please.
I had minor headaches and doctor prescribed me flunarizine 10 mg once a day to consume on the day my headache occurred.
But from past 1 month I am having mild headaches throughout my head and the mild pain remains and head feels heavy. The pain come and goes . The pain is not sharp but a dull and mild one but a persistent one as well. I have not problems in balancing myself and sleep comfortably but headache remains when I get and throughout the day.
I also consulted a neurologist but looking at my past MRI reports of brain in 2018 he said that there is nothing to worry but...

Headaches could be explained on the basis of deviated nasal septum and turbinate hypertrophy leading to secondary headache. This is one possibility.
However in the setting of undiagnosed gastric illness and episodes of blackout and and headache, a more detailed evaluation may be needed including a repeat of MRI.
What was the effect of flunarizine on your headache. These issues will need to be addressed too in your overall management plan.
I recommend you take a proper consult for the same.
