You need to consult and follow up with neurologist for regular treatment of medication overusage headache. Medicine which you are taking are not safe while considering pregnancy. Appropriate treatment shall help to get rid of these habit forming medications which itself triggers headache in your case. Regards.

May affect .YOU can reverse migraine without medicines with diet and lifestyle changes Change diet and lifestyle first .Next change your doctor also Your Doctor has to treat the root cause of the headache and not the symptom -Headache alone. The cause for the headache may not be in your head it can be due to problems arising elsewhere in the body like Gastrointestinal issues, BP ,food sensitivity, Stress, Eye, Sinus problems ,Environmental toxins. They can be the cause either alone or in combination. Migraine is an autoimmune disease treated correctly by finding the root cause and treating them. If the root cause still persists it will create havoc in other organs like Thyroid, Joints,Brain, Bowel etc and you are susceptible to several other severe autoimmune diseases. Do not blindly believe your Dr. because he may have vested monetary interests. Always take second opinion if you do not want to get misguided .Change your doctor for sure if he is asking you to do CT and MRI Scans for Migraine, and If he is not answering your questions properly, and is rushing through your appointment ,is not educating you about the disease and not offering alternative options which can cure .Migraine is an autoimmune disease treated correctly by finding the root cause and treating them. If the root cause still persists it will create havoc in other organs like Thyroid, Joints,Brain, Bowel etc and you are susceptible to several other severe autoimmune diseases. The triggers for headache are many which includes chemicals in Food, Water,Toothpaste, kitchen utensils ,oil, cosmetics ,weather ,etc Your headache will remain if your Doctor 1) Has not taken detailed dietary, lifestyle, environmental,occupational, medical and not identified the triggers. 2) Not done the comprehensive complete lab testing which should include tests for inflammation, mineral and vitamin deficiency. These 2 steps needs to be done correctly before suggesting the correct treatment. All diseases begin in the gut. You have to change diet and lifestyle because migraine starts with a leaky gut which your drs are not aware of because they have zero knowledge of nutrition .You need education about your disease and not medication which is a temporary fix. U can not treat what U can not find ,First step is you have to find the issue for which a consultation is needed.
