What Causes Recurring Headache Along With Acid Reflux?
Question: I have a multitude of different ailments but the one that is causing me most grief Right now is the pain in my head. I have had an on/off headache for the best part of the week which is fairly common to me but this time it appeared at the same time my acid reflux levels have shot up again. so apart from this burning acid pain headache I keep getting high pitched ringing and every so often for about 6 hours now I get this noise as if something is flapping or someone is waiving a towel on the inside of my head. Any insight into what is causing this is helpful.
Brief Answer:
sinus
Detailed Answer:
cannot say in your particular case without an exam and here's why it is a sinus congestion:
ear/hearing symptoms and headache point to that area
congestion draining down causes reflux like symptoms
the on/off nature of headache occurs with intermittant congestion and stress/migraine/brain tumor are much more constant.
can be helped with exam/antibiotics/sinus pills.
