headache which you have described could be migraines. i would need to know answer of few questions which would help me in getting to the right diagnosis. any history of headache (ha) in your wife's family or your children? how does the headache feel - throbbing pulsating or pressure type? does she get any aura (symptoms) prior to start of her ha such as flashing of lights colors stars black dots etc? did she experience any numbness over face or fingers? describe her ha severity in grade 1-10 1 - minimum and 10 - maximum. what brings her ha and what relieves it? for example sleep food and dark room. is she sensitive to noise and sound during her ha? does she get nausea or vomiting with these ha? does she get any redness in eyes tearing in eyes (left eye) with these ha? does she have any motion sickness brain freeze with ice cream or wet hands? does she take any medicine for these ha? since your ha frequency are frequent (when they occur they occur as multiple episodes in a day). once i have answers to these questions i would discuss about management (drugs). in the interim it is good and reassuring that ct head is normal which tells you there is no mass occupying lesion or increase icp (intracranial pressure). also mild increase in tsh (thyroid stimulating hormone) should not be associated with her ha. things she should do in the interim are drink water 2 l per day and keep herself well hydrated. exercise daily and run 2 km at 4 km/hour speed at least. have a good sleep for eight hours a day. revert back with the answers for the above questions to a neurologist online --> <link>
