What Causes Severe Headache And Nausea?
My husband has mTBI from an IED blast several yrs ago; often has severe headaches, dizzyness and nausea. Today he was helping a friend tar a roof, outdoor temp was around 75 degrees F & became extremely dizzy and got a nose bleed. Could this have been from fatigue, dehydration or should we be concerned that it s something more?

Hi.
I understand your concern.
It may be due to dehydration but headache is common after TBI.
Routine physical examination and investigation are needed to ruled out underlying pathology.
Investigation like EEG / fundus examination / CT scan / MRI will be useful.
Proper diet and nutrition / maintenance of hydration and vitals are advisable.
Consult neurologist for better assistance.
I hope I have answered your question. Thank you.
