What Causes Headache And Fatigue?

I have been getting headaches at least twice a day. Some are sharp short pains and others last about an hour and the pain is in the left side of my brain. I also am very sickly looking with a pale complexion, suffer from lightheadedness and fatigue. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should first rule out anemia (low hemoglobin level) in your case because of your pale complexion, easy fatiguabilty and headache.
So get done Complete blood count and if hemoglobin level is low then you will need iron supplements.
Other likely cause for your symptoms is migraine.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
Avoid excessive sun exposure. Avoid fasting and take your meals timely.
Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours. Take paracetamol for headache.. Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
