What Causes Severe Headache Along With Nausea And Indigestion?
I have a severe headache which started yesterday with extreme nausea and indigestion. I have been taking Zofran 8mg tablet every 8 hours and excedrin for the headache. When I stand up all my symptoms increase by 50%. Plus I am getting the sweats. Do you know what could be causing this?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The rule of thumb is when a person experiences the worse headache they have ever had they need to be seen. It is best for you to be seen to rule out the serious causes of severe headache e.g. a haemorrhage.
Though this is not the case for the majority of people, most do not have this issue, the rule is that 'worst headaches ever' need to be assessed.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
