Are my headaches from dehydration and low blood pressure?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 18-year-old male suffering from headaches every morning after I wake up. I get dizzy upon standing up suddenly, and my eyesight gets blurry with a heavy head.
I am concerned if it is serious.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
Based on the symptoms described, you may have low blood sugar levels or low blood pressure immediately upon waking up due to low-calorie intake on the previous night. It can also be due to fast metabolism, prolonged sleep, low water intake, and subsequent dehydration.
I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions.
- Consume complex carbohydrates like whole grains just before sleeping and drink plenty of water.
- If your sleep is prolonged, then complete seven to eight hours and gradually get up after lying 10 minutes in bed.
- Eating or drinking a light snack before having a wholesome breakfast can help.
- Avoid alcohol and smoking.
- Avoid caffeine intake in all forms.
- Try doing yoga or meditation as a daily routine.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
