Headache and Nausea | Cause, diagnoses, symptoms and treatment

Do you have a headache and are nauseous? It is relatively common, but can also involve more serious diagnoses. Headache is defined as pain or discomfort in or in the area around the head - which includes the scalp, temple, forehead, sinuses and upper part of the neck. Nausea is a feeling of nausea in the body and often in the stomach that makes you feel like you have to vomit.

We point out that both headaches and nausea are relatively common symptoms - and that they can range from mild to significant in terms of intensity. When headaches and nausea occur together then this may in some cases be a sign of a more serious diagnosis, but in the majority of cases it is fortunately not. However, it is very important to recognize symptoms and clinical signs of potentially life-threatening diagnoses - such as meningitis and stroke.

Causes and Diagnoses: Why do I have a headache and am nauseous?

The symptoms and clinical signs vary according to the actual diagnosis behind the headache and nausea you are experiencing. The list is long, but one of the most common causes of such symptoms in combination is migraines. Migraine headaches can cause a wide variety of symptoms, including nausea, dizziness, light sensitivity and significant (unilateral) headaches. Often, in many cases of migraine, the person will also experience tingling in front of the eyes prior to the attack itself.

Other more common causes of headaches and nausea include dehydration and low blood sugar. Therefore, it is extremely important to stay hydrated throughout the day and to have a healthy, varied diet. Some reasons for low blood sugar may include excessive intake of alcohol, medical side effects, liver and kidney failure, malnutrition and hormonal deficiencies.

Other causes and diagnoses that can cause headaches and nausea

This list is quite comprehensive. The causes and diagnoses include:

• Acoustic neuroma
• Alcohol withdrawal syndrome
• Anthrax Poisoning
• Fracture of the skull
• Diabetes
• Ebola
• Endometriosis
• Poisoning
• Cold
• Yellow fever
• Hepatitis A
• cerebral haemorrhage
• meningitis
• Concussion and traumatic head injuries
• gliomas
• High blood pressure
• Flu
• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
• crystal Sick (benign, job-related dizziness)
• liver Problems
• Lung disease

• Malaria
• Food allergy
• Food poisoning

• SARS
• Streptococcal inflammation
• Stress and anxiety
• Early stages of pregnancy
• Tonsilite (tonsillitis)

Intake of too much sugar, caffeine, alcohol and nicotine can also cause both headaches and nausea.

When should you seek emergency medical help

Our attitude is that it is always better to go to the doctor once too much than once too little. As mentioned earlier, most cases of mild headaches and nausea can go away on their own - such as colds and flu. But it is very important to be aware that headaches with associated nausea can also be clinical signs of more serious diagnoses. You should seek medical attention immediately if you have a very severe headache or if the headache, as well as the nausea, only gets worse and worse.

If you experience any of these symptoms in combination with headaches and nausea, you should also seek medical attention:

• balance problems
• unconsciousness
• Deterioration
• No urination for more than eight hours
• Vomiting that persists for over 24 hours
• Stiff neck and associated fever
• Dizziness
• speech difficulties
• balance problems

If you suffer from headaches and nausea regularly, even if it is in mild variants, we encourage you to contact your GP for an assessment, as well as help to set up a treatment plan to stop this.

Treatment of Headaches and Nausea

The treatment you receive will be different depending on what is causing your symptoms. If it is found that the symptoms are due to an underlying medical diagnosis then this must of course be treated according to the current clinical guidelines for that condition. This may involve lifestyle changes, dietary changes, changes in medication or other symptom-relieving measures.

Treatment of migraine

Migrant attacks are terrible, so here's the thing to be a leader. There are medications that can stop an onset seizure and there are soothing medications along the way (preferably in the form of nasal spray, as there is otherwise a high chance of the person vomiting).

Other measures for faster relief of symptoms, we recommend that you go down a bit with a so-called "migraine mask»Over the eyes (mask that one has in the freezer and which is specially adapted to relieve migraines and headaches) - this will reduce some of the pain signals and calm some of your tension.

If your migraine attacks are also affected by tight neck muscles and stiff joints, you can also respond well to conservative, physical therapy by a physical therapist or modern chiropractor. Self-measures such as the use of trigger point balls and self-exercises can also be strongly recommended.

Treatment of stress-related headaches and nausea

Are you one of those who tends to bite a little bit at a time? Do you have about 100 balls in the air at any one time? Then it's time for you to start stressing down and taking time for yourself during a hectic workday. We highly recommend stressful measures such as:

• Physical treatment for tight muscles
• Mindfullness
• Breathing Exercises
• Yoga

When you lower your shoulders and become more at ease with yourself and your everyday life, you will, in many cases, experience positive changes in your stress level and mood.

In more severe cases of concussions, research has shown (1) that early, adapted training through functional clinics (modern chiropractor or psychomotor physiotherapist) can contribute to brain healing. The same research has also shown that prolonged rest and rest can work negatively in the form of slower healing and the normalization of cognitive functions.
