What Causes Headache, Nausea And Excess Salivation?

Hi, I have been having light headaches for the last few days, they are on and off. I have also started to get a little nausea and excessive salivation. I have also been more tired than usual. None of the symptoms are extreme but they are not usual for me.

Hello , thanks for using healthcaremagic.
It seems that you are suffering from Migraine probably.It is common problem and generally since 2nd to 4th decade of life.More seen in females.
Two types of treatment approach for this.
One is primary prophylaxis in which you need to take daily some medicine like propranolol or funarizine or amitryptiline to prevent headache. Depending upon your physical profile doctor will choose the drug.
Another is secondary prophylaxis in which drug to be taken as soon as you feel headache is started.
Other causes of headache like refraction errors(Visual problem), tension headache, cluster headache , hypertension sinusitis which all are to be rule out through physical examination and necessary investigations.
So visit the doctor and take treatment.
I hope I have answered your query , still any doubt late me know.
thanks & Regards.
