The vestibular workup showed that she has migraines called migrainous vertigo (this is not vestibular migraines as many people think of them as the same type of headache) The migraine doctor thinks that she can get a lot better if we can find a drug to stop this type of migraine. He thinks it's about 70% migraine and 30% PCS. So for what it is worth ....maybe this is something to look into.
I am not always on this blog so feel free to message me-I think they go to my email?
My best,

Thank you for your input, I'll definitely look into that. How long has your daughter been having symptoms for? My headache starts out as head pressure/tension and then turns into actual headache as the day goes on. I have also noticed it usually gets better later in the day, and usually is the worst in the afternoon. I wish her the best. I've been using Tramadol for my headaches and it gives me relief, I take 100mg at 1 PM and 100mg at 7PM every day. It does not take away the pressure, but greatly reduces the pain.
