Why am I experiencing severe headaches, throat swelling, and vomiting?

For the past 3 weeks now maybe longer I’ve been experiencing severe headaches. I ended up going to hospital for a head CT but they never did one and just put it down to stress which I know it’s not the case there’s definitely something wrong. I returned to work yesterday and was completely fine until I woke up this morning with a severe headache again and in pain all over. My throat has swelled up and I’ve been vomiting all day. I’ve taken codeine that has eased the pain a bit. I just don’t know what to do or what could be causing this. My GP has been no help either and I can’t continue risking taking anymore time off work

Having severe headaches, throwing up, swelling of the throat, and general body weakness is odd. It could be an indication of a serious problem that needs immediate attention. You should see a doctor who will carry out proper examinations and tests to establish the root cause. If possible, think about getting a second opinion without any delay.

Hi what causes fatigue , chest pain , pressure in my head , weakness in my left arm and leg , irregular heartbeat , I have bad dental and a lump at the base of my skull , low blood pressure

Female | 30

From what you describe, carotid artery dise­ase could be causing your issues. This condition blocks blood ve­ssels in your neck. It can lead to tire­dness, chest discomfort, head pre­ssure, and left arm/leg we­akness. The irregular he­artbeat, poor dental health, and skull base­ lump may relate. Reduce­d blood flow from the blockage could cause low blood pre­ssure. To properly address this, se­eking medical evaluation and tre­atment is vital.

You might be dealing with stress, maybe too much strain or not enough rest. The human body reacts to stress in such a way that all these things can happen. To feel better, the recommended course of action is: to relax more, try to get some sleep, and practice breathing exercises or do some gentle exercises.

I am having hormonal migraines due to my period starting soon. My go-to remedies are not having any effect lately. I have already taken Excedrin but with no improvement. I want to take naproxen-sumatriptan. Can I take this after taking Excedrin? How long should I wait?

Female | 29

If Excedrin hasn't provided relief for your hormonal migraines, it's best not to take naproxen sumatriptan without consulting a doctor. Combining medications without guidance can be harmful. Seek advice from a healthcare provider or pharmacist for a safe alternative or proper timing to take naproxen-sumatriptan.

My brother is 7 year old he is having epilepsy when he 3 years old but nowadays it's getting worse and he also have sensorineural hearing loss

Male | 7

It sounds like your brother is experiencing worsening epilepsy along with sensorineural hearing loss. It's important to consult a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy for proper evaluation and management of his seizures. Additionally, an ENT specialist can assess and guide his hearing loss. It's crucial to seek medical advice promptly to ensure he receives appropriate care and support.

Male | 22

There are many reasons why people get headaches.  For example, pressure or strain due to stress can cause it; failure to drink water may also contribute, and spending too much time looking at a screen can be another factor.  To relieve yourself of these symptoms ensure that you are taking enough water and breaks as much as possible from screens while getting adequate sleep each night. If they persist then see a doctor immediately.
