What Causes Headaches With Dizziness And Nausea?

Brief Answer:
ENT consultation is primary.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.

Looks like your long standing headache is causing a lot of concern - I would like to know of the following common issues to help me understand better. Firstly, the site, duration, bringing it on by any activity in particular. And if the tylenol relieved it completely earlier and now.

Dizziness and nausea along with the headache will point to some issues in the ear commonly for which a good check with the ENT specialist will help. Another common possibility will be migraine category for which a detailed history and examination will also be needed. Middle ear issues are a common finding in people of your age, and specific drugs will be prescribed if the findings do point so.

These, again in the backdrop of assumption that you have not made any mention of any existing medical conditions except that you are on Aspirin medication.

Anxiety headache is another category under types of headaches. And is distinct from migraine category and the line of treatment will also differ in that anxiolytic drugs will be prescribed instead of antimigraine medications. Yes, severe anxiety will lead to headache in such a scenario.

Headache causing anxiety is obvious, presuming again that you have not sought medical attention for the present symptoms.

Eye sight disorders, medications will also add on to the list though after the above.

Meanwhile, avoid walking without support and seek help whilst walking. Watch out for sudden onset dizziness which might lead to a fall. One way to avoid this, is to sit on the bed for some time after waking up and then gradually stand up.

Avoid strong odors in the vicinity and loud music or bright lights. And seek medical attention at the earliest as Tylenol may not be sufficient for now.

Let me know if I have missed out any other concern in your question.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,

Dr Sujeet N Charugulla,

Consultant Physician.
