Hello, I am very tired, I have big head words and it hurts my eyes. I have heart words and a loss of appetite. What can I do?

Hello, before starting I need to validate some information with you.

Does your headache come in spurts or is it continuous?

Is it only on one side of the head? On the back? On the forehead?

Have you tried anything to relieve it so far?

It really feels like a migraine. The typical symptoms of a migraine are

At this time, if you are having trouble getting relief with Tylenol and Advil, it may be worthwhile to take Naproxen. It's more potent and may give you better relief from your migraine. Gravol is also good for the associated nausea

To successfully soothe the current episode (in combination with the painkillers discussed above), I suggest you rest in a dark room, without noise or light, with cold water compresses where it hurts. This can help

to reduce the symptoms

Last questions, are you taking hormones? Did you have any warning symptoms before the pain started (temporary loss of vision with multicolored spots, etc.)?

Thank you for the clarification. It could be that the migraines are hormonal in nature, that is, they are associated with your period. A real migraine is very disabling indeed

I was asking you these questions because the presence of warning symptoms (called a migraine aura) is a contraindication to taking hormones. So that part is taken care of

Eventually, you will need to see a doctor to get a diagnosis. This doesn't mean that you're going to get migraines every time you have a period. However, a treatment prescribed by the doctor could "break" a migraine when it happens. It allows you to have a migraine that lasts less time and that is less disabling as well. I suggest that you go for a consultation once this episode is over

I'll see what I can do to help you. First I need to assess you properly

No problem. I'll send you a link to make an appointment for a video consultation. I need to create a file for you and ask you the usual questions in order to send you what you need

I am available now. So you can take a 10:45 or 11:00 slot and I will log in immediately. A zoom link will automatically be created and I can get you into the consultation.
