Is Headache Caused By Gastroenteritis And Hernia? Should I Fear Stomach Cancer?
I have gastroparisis and a hernia. Symptoms have progressed through the year and it is more difficult to eliminate food. I am also experiencing a lot of headaches, particularly at night, they seem to get better when I rise. My gastro doctor cannot see me for a month, but I feel awful most of the time. Is headache a sypmtom of stomach cancer (this is where I fear all of this is heading).

People with gastroparesis commonly have gastro esophageal reflux disorder. long standing reflux can cause changes in lower end of esophagus, condition called Barrets esophagus which is precancerous. this is not common but long standing reflus needs to be avoided. but this has nothing to do with headache. headache can be due to lack of sleep due to reflux
