I'm feeling this weird cold sensation at the back of my head. It happens mostly at night, and the only thing that seems to help is wearing a woollen cap while I sleep. Sometimes I feel it during the day too. I've tried putting cotton in my ears, which helps a bit but doesn't completely fix it. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm really struggling with migraine headaches that I've been dealing with for over 15 years now. I usually take Naprosen when the pain becomes unbearable, but I used to take Rizact before. I haven't been able to figure out what's triggering them since no specific food seems to be causing it. I do notice that lack of sleep or disturbed sleep sometimes leads to a headache. What can I do to avoid these headaches or stop them right when they start?

because of stress& lack of sleep

I've just been prescribed VenlorXR 37.5 Capsule for my vestibular migraine. I'm really worried and I'm wondering if this is a safe medication to use? Also, could you tell me about any side effects I should be aware of?
