What Causes Headaches And Night Sweats In A 58-year-old?
Hi! I need some help. I m a healthy 58 yr old woman that is experiencing severe headaches everyday. I just moved to new city and starting work next week. I currently don t have insurance. I don t take any vitamins or medication. I get very sick when I take any medication. I need to know what is triggering my headaches everyday. I cannot cope with having these headaches anylonger. I also get night-sweats at night. Haven t had my period for over 6 months

Hi,
Since you are 58, you are already in the menopausal phase. Hormonal changes take place, estrogen & testosterone levels get much lowered, and may cause hot flashes & sweats at night. Itching due to vaginal dryness causes loss of libido. Irritation, fatigue, irregular bleeding, headache, anxiety or emotional disturbance are common symptoms.
You are recommended to get HRT done. Apply estrogen cream vaginally to have better lubrication. Take Acetaminophen (tylenol), when headache. Get eye check up done, you may need lens. Take plenty of water, soups, juices to maintain sodium-potassium blood balance. Do regular exercises, abstain from addictions if any.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
