Suggest Remedies For Headaches And Exhaustion During Pregnancy

This is a common complaint and you can go ahead and treat the headache
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
In pregnancy, headaches are a common complaint. They are most often an issue during the first 16 weeks of pregnancy. I have tried to come up with an explanation for this complaint but there really is not an explanation. It may be a hormonal effect and it may be related to changes in the volume of fluid in your blood stream or the function of your heart. Regardless, it is not considered a problem at this early gestational age.
When patients are over 20 weeks, if they have a headache AND an elevation in their blood pressure, then we definitely start to worry about them. But this is not the case with you.
You can safely take Tylenol during pregnancy - what have you tried?
