What should I do about this situation? ?

I had fillings done, each side a month apart. Ever since then I’ve been having migraines. Some days it’s excruciating and other days it’s mild. But it’s ever single day. I went to the doctor and they gave me muscle relaxers (for tmj)  and ibuprofen. They really aren’t seeming to do much. I’ve been back to the dentist 2 separate times to have them fix my bite. But I’m still having headaches! Should I keep going back to the dentist to have them fix my bite? It’s so hard to tell how my bite is supposed to be, and every time I leave the dentist not knowing if my bite feels normal or not

    Firstly, the migraines could be from over focusing on the fillings done. It is a natural habit that you’ll grow out of. As for bite, instead of going back have a specialist look into the tmj. Your bite should be the same after each time such is fixed. It can also be done at home for time being by moving around the side where you have tmj to the correct bite position.
