Suggest Treatment For Throbbing Headache With Nausea
Question: I have been having this dull pulsating throbbing in the centre of the head for almost two weeks.
I also burp a lot.
I used to eat raw garlic to control my cholesterol but have stopped as I associated it to my burping and headache. even after stopping for four days, the head throbbing is not going.
I do not have it through out the day but most of the day especially in the evenings.
I have shown myself to an ENT specialist and he finds everything ok.
my BP is normal 130/82 and my cholesterol is 217
what could be wrong?

I do not have nausea. I just burp a lot for most of the day.
the burps don't taste bad but are loud and sometimes noisy,
is that the reason for the head throbbing. I hope there is nothing serious
one more issue the throbbing is pulsating.
