What Causes Bald Patches On The Left Side Of The Head And Migraine?

I have noticed two bald patches on my head. One is about two inches in diameter. They are both on the left side of my head. I have also been experiencing pain in my neck when I turn my head suddenly in either direction. I have had severe migraines that usually end up with me vomiting. I am normally healthy, 48 and female. I had one episode of a black out when I came to I was on the floor on my back. I am seeing my family doctor tomorrow what should I be asking him?

Hello, I had gone through your history.

You have 2 different problems -
your patches are due to alopecia area for which you should consult dermatologist .

secondly ,you have migraine with neck pain due to cervical spondylosis .For this , I advise you to take migraine prophylaxis and analgesics for neck pain and physiotherapy.
You should also go for exercise and yoga to relieve stress as stress is also aggravating factor for migraine and cervical spondylosis.
Thanks
