What Is The Cause For Headaches When On Medication?

I am a 55 year old woman. I have had a whole head headache for over 2 weeks and nothing relieves the pain which is dull and ever present. Today I was chilled to the bone, but not shivering. I was not exposed to the 20 degree outdoor temperature for more than a couple of minutes. I took my temp 2x with 2 different digital thermometers at lunch time and again at dinner time. The temps ranged from 93.9F to 96.1. My normal temp is usually 97.2. Just now (bedtime) it was 95.4. I have no other cold-like symptoms.

Hello,

I have studied your case.
As per your history there is possibility of headache due to migraine.
Migraine usually involves half part of your head.
Pain is severe and aggravated by triggering factors like fast, irritant smell, travelling.
If you were my patient, I would clinically confirm diagnosis.

Lifestyle Modifications will help to reduce headache episodes
- Proper nutrition
- Regular physical activity
- Adequate sleep
- Stress reduction strategies

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
