You guys may have noticed that I haven't been myself for a long time. I'm trying to keep it together but I'm beginning to feel sick and headaches won't quit without tons of Tylenol which isn't good for the liver at all. Anyway, it's not an excuse. I know it's not your guys' problem but I'm going to the clinic on Monday or Tuesday hopefully, to get blood tests ordered and other stuff to finally see what's going on. I've made many nasty remarks to members that didn't deserve it at all. All I can say is that I'm sorry guys and I'm trying my best here. It's not easy without a family doctor let me tell you, I am absolutely scared to death about these tests because I spent so many years poisoning my body with drugs and booze and I may be about to feel the consequences at my current age.
"Ongoing headaches with nausea can stem from migraines, stress, dehydration, or underlying issues like sinus infections, but can also signal serious problems like meningitis or increased brain pressure, so persistent or severe symptoms warrant a doctor's evaluation, especially with fever, stiff neck, vision changes, or confusion. Common causes include migraines, dehydration, fatigue, caffeine/alcohol/nicotine, and lifestyle factors, while red flags point to urgent conditions needing immediate care.
Common Causes-
Migraines: Often cause severe throbbing pain and significant nausea/vomiting.
Dehydration: From illness, heat, or not drinking enough, leading to headaches and dizziness.
Stress & Tension: Can trigger headaches and stomach upset.
Dietary Factors: Caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, sugar, or skipping meals can be culprits.
Illnesses: Flu, stomach viruses, sinus infections, or even altitude sickness.
Medication Side Effects: Some drugs can cause these symptoms.
Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome: Episodes of intense nausea and vomiting, often in children.
**What to Do
For Mild Cases-
Rest in a dark room, use cold/warm compresses, stay hydrated, try OTC pain relievers (if appropriate).
Lifestyle Changes:
Regular sleep, consistent meals, stress management (yoga, meditation), and regular exercise.
Track Triggers:
Keep a food/symptom diary to find patterns.
Consult a Doctor:
If symptoms are persistent or severe, to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan."
