Hi,
Welcome to the HCM,
I read you querry carefully.
Headache can be due to empty stomach and acidity. or it can be due to decrease Glucose level in the Blood.
To Avoid it you should take 1-Frequent small meals.
2- Improve your dietry habits.
3- Take Healthy balance diet.
4- Increase use of Milk and Yougurt in your Diet.
For headache you can take simple painkillers like Acetaminophen 1000mg twice a day after meal.
To be on safe side you should go for Fasting Glucose level test.
Hope so it will be helpful. you can write again in case of any query or follow up.
Wish you Good Health.
Regards
