See below: It is quite common for people to experience headaches after a stroke caused by a bleed (haemorrhagic stroke). The pain tends to lessen over time and can usually be controlled by painkillers such as paracetamol. Anyone experiencing a sudden, severe headace or a persistent headache should seek medical attention urgently to find out what is causing it.

COULD BE : Intense headaches could well be a sequela of your stroke, secondary to the chemical reactive changes in the central nervous system. Think best that these be prevented, and one might try depakote, topirimate, naproxen, or indomethacin. Otc approaches might also work, such as riboflavin, feverfew, co-q10, butterbur. Due to stroke history, would avoid triptans.

Insufficient data: Some people do develop chronic hwaedaches after strokes. It's unusual for a 37-year-old to have a stroke, so I'm guessing that your situation isn't typical. Migraines are diagnosed according to their clinical features. If your hwaedaches meet the criteria for migraines, then that's what they are. There's no way that your question can be answered fully in 400 characters. Discuss with your doctor.
