Dr. Bryan Treacy answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Headache specialist: There is such a thing as "menstrual migraines" which can be hormone imbalances presenting in this fashion. A neurologist who specializes in headaches or gynecologist who is informed in hormone balance may be able to find the cause.
