Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 years old and healthy but lately, I have been waking up with headaches that continue throughout the day and now the last few days. I feel very lightheaded and dizzy when standing and get a stomach ache. I eat regularly and drink five bottles of water a day. I take regular medicines and multivitamins as I have for years now but do not understand why I just now am beginning to feel like this.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

According to the history provided, here you are having a headache, dizziness mainly. Your blood pressure should be checked as fluctuations in blood pressure or high blood pressure can lead to a headache. Second otological causes should be evaluated as an ear infection can lead to a headache with dizziness. Viral respiratory tract infection can lead to a headache with dizziness (in this case congestive symptoms are present).

If you are taking the stress and if having smoking habits then also headaches can occur. If any cardiac history is positive then less blood flow to the brain sometimes can lead to dizziness. For that investigation is done with EKG. If slurred speech is present, history of hypertension, and if no specific cause is found then a CT scan like a higher investigation can be done to look for the stroke-like condition. Take care. According to the cause found a further specific treatment can be given. Consult a physician for examination with keeping all this in mind.

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