Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query. I think I would be able to help you.
Headache if a new onset headache should be evaluated with a neuro radio imaging. So a CT scan or preferably a MRI of the brain would be ideal.
A new onset severe headache may be due to sudden bleeding inside the skull. This can be seen only by the neuro radio imaging.
The bleed presents with many symptoms many of which are related to stomach like nausea vomiting etc.
So I suggest that you have a neuro radio imaging done.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
