Could Lack Of Energy And Light Headedness Be Due To Chronic Migraine?

I suffer from headaches for years. Been diagnosed with chronic migraines. I also learned I don t absorb medicine like I should and unable to digest food properly. I m always extremely tired. I have no energy and feel lightheaded. My heart feels like it s racing even when I m just sitting here. I don t feel like doing anything even when I want to enjoy being outside and doing things. I just feel like I m going to drop or pass out. What s wrong with me?

Hello and welcome.

Well, firstly there are numerous causative factors for migraine headaches (if you have indeed been diagnosed with them). Some of the causative factors include stress, extreme temperatures, fluctuations in blood pressure, tumor in the brain, poor eating habits, hypoglycemia, etc.

So it is first important to find the cause for your migraine headaches, which in turn will give us direction towards the cause for your other symptoms as well. With the current presentation hypoglycemia does seem likely, but will have to be checked on like all the other factors. Please discuss this in detail with a neurologist.

Best wishes.
