Brief Answer:
Not all symptoms related, trying to sort out below
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
not all the symptoms you are describing are related:
1 Migraine: There is effective therapy available like triptane medication, prescribed by neurologist or gp.
2. Bloeating, decreased appetite: testing for intolerance to lactose, fructose and sorbitol is advisable, if the results are not positive, colonoscopy is entailed. The test can be ordered through your local physician. .
3. Balance issues/ increased fatigue: Here I would recommend a general health checkup with blood work for anaemia and thyroid as well as iron, vit b12, folic acid. Also clinical examination/ blood pressure measurement to rule out low blood pressure need to be done at your physician's office.
4. Glaucome: this is an eye only issue, best to be taken care with special eye drops by your eye doctor.
Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
