Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My headache is becoming frequent every day. Recently, I had dizziness, lightheadedness, and blurred vision randomly. Sometimes, I have a loss of mobility in my left hand and it cannot close them properly. But it usually goes away within a few minutes. These symptoms become worse before getting my periods. I notice bruising in my stomach for five days before getting periods. It got disappeared after getting periods. I had vomiting for two days before getting my periods. It got subsided after I got my periods. I wake up every day with a feeling of nausea. I have these problems for a year. I notice large mood swings. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Tension headache is the most common headache. At this age, you have a lot of stress and sometimes it becomes difficult to handle it. I recommend you try to avoid stress. If you cannot tolerate sound or bear light, then you can have a sudden headache. There is an aura with vomiting. You must think about the possibility of a migraine. Sometimes, it seems to be severe and needs proper medications. To avoid headaches, you need to avoid the triggering agents. Bruising on the stomach is a normal phenomenon that occurs before getting periods. In case, if you have bloating with cramps and nausea, then you need to drink lots of water. Avoid taking caffeine and avoid foods that cause bloating. Eat foods that are dry and take short frequent meals.

Investigations to be done

You need to do MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) brain to rule out the cause of the headache.

Treatment plan

Take tablet Paracetamol 1 gm one time a day when the headache is severe.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
