Does Asthma Cause Headache And Moodswings?

Hi, I'm an 18 year old girl, I'm 5"5 and 136lbs. I have asthma (symbicort inhaler) <I'm tired and weak all the time, i find it hard to get to sleep and when i do i don't get a good's night sleep, I'm always thirsty and craving sugary and salty foods. I have really bad mood swings, i often feel vulnerable and emotional and my concentration is very poor especially with school work. I get headaches quite a lot, and feel faint from time to time, and when i close my eyes i see red or blue colours and sometimes my vision can be a bit blurred. do you know what might be wrong with me?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The difficulty sleeping, moods swings and problems with concentration may be related to a psychological condition but you may be able to be initially assessed by your general doctor.

Increased thirst, food cravings and abnormal vision would also need assessment.
These can be due to different possible conditions for eg diabetes, electrolyte disturbance

Blood tests may be needed.

It would be best to see your doctor for examination and investigation

I hope this helps
