That you for choosing HCM.

It seems that you have acidity. There is small chance that you may have Ulcerative colitis or that this is a manifestation of the same problem.

The acidity may be causing the headache. Headaches occur due to dilatation of the blood vessels in the head. This is what is causing the pain which is throbbing in nature.

A headache also occurs because of a trigger factor and it is possible that this is what has started it. In your case, it seems that the acidity is causing the headache.

Since you have acidity, you cannot take Paracetamol as it will increase that the stomach pain that you are having.

You can try the following things to see if it helps you:
Take 20 ml of Pepto-Bismol 2 times a day
Drink lots of water
Sleep well
Eat at regular times

Try these for 5 days to see if it helps. Wishing you a quick recovery.
