Suggest Treatment For Headache, Fatigue And Dizziness

About once every month, I will wake up sick to my stomach, with a headache, lightheaded and fatigued. I will normally throw up a few times over the course of a few hours and then be all better by noon. What could be causing this, and can I do anything to prevent the episodes ?

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

I would like to know your gender and age.
These symptoms could be related to low blood pressure or dehydration. A metabolic disorder (thyroid gland dysfunction, electrolyte imbalance, can not be excluded either).
Coming to this point, I would recommend you to check your blood pressure values and heart rate during these episodes.
It is also necessary consulting with your GP for a physical check up and some routine tests:
- a chest X ray study
- a resting ECG
- fasting glucose
- blood electrolytes
- kidney and liver function tests
- thyroid hormone levels.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
