What Causes Sudden And Severe Headache, Stomach Pain, Nose Tingling And Chest Pain?
Question: My otherwise very normal and healthy daughter got a sudden severe headache today. I had her drink some water in case she was dehydrated with all the heat. It was followed by extreme stomach ache. She had skipped breakfast so had a piece of fruit. Which seemed to make it worse. She laid down and I massaged her head. That helped and she asked for a piece of toast. Then she said she couldn't feel her finger on the R hand, then the whole hand, then her nose started tingling. That went away with some shaking but then she got a very sharp pain in her chest which only lasted less than a minute. She is 13 and resting now.
