Hi,
A persistent
migraine along with chills and sweating can be a concerning symptom and may indicate an underlying medical condition that requires medical attention. Some potential causes include:
* Meningitis: This is an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and
spinal cord, and can cause severe
headaches, chills, and sweating.
* Lyme disease: This is a bacterial infection transmitted through tick bites that can cause symptoms like headache, fever, chills, and sweating.
* Cluster headaches: These are a type of headache that can cause
severe pain on one side of the head, along with other symptoms like sweating and chills.
* Medication overuse headache: Overusing pain medications like
Excedrin, Motrin, and Advil can lead to chronic headaches that are difficult to treat.
It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. A doctor can perform a physical exam, review the medical history, and order tests, such as blood work or imaging, to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
