Brief Answer:
More info is necessary.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

I should ask you about possible premenopause syndrome in order to understand better your condition.

Did you experienced any irregularities in periods this last year?

Were the sexual hormones measured during your blood work?

Any hot flashes besides above symptoms lately?

Awaiting for more information.......

Brief Answer:
Migraines variants to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back and thanks for the additional information.

Variants of migraines should be considered in your case.

In such case, I suggest you to discuss with your Doctor about abdominal migraines and basilar migraines, as possible causes of your issues.

Hope I helped you.

Take care.
