Hi,
How are you? What tests were done in the past? Aside from both preventive and acute medications, complementary medicine such as acupuncture may also help. A headache journal wherein possible triggers are identified and avoided may be beneficial also. If it persists, it is best that you inform your doctor about this for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
