What Causes Headache And Vomiting In An Elderly Person?
my mum lives in spain and has been vomiting and suffering with headaches for over a fortnight now. She has been tested for blood pressure which although historically low is now ok with treatment. She is not overweight and was generally in very good and active health for a 76 year old

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Headaches can sometimes be associated with episodes of vomiting, the headaches themselves may be a cause of the vomiting.
If there is no previous history of headaches, she should consider imaging of the brain to rule out any issues that may be contributing to the headaches.
This would be important to rule out any lesions.
I hope this helps
