What Is The Cause For Headaches, Dizzy And Vomiting?

hi and thank you. my daughter, who has been epileptic since birth, was complaining of stomach pain. Upon getting up she vomitted twice and then said her head hurt really bad and that she was dizzy and things were blurry. Could this be a migraine or perhaps a gastro related problem?

Hi, thanks for asking form HCM.


I can understand your concern. It could be any of above - gastrointestinal or migraine. It can be differentiated by

: If pain in abdomen first then gastrointestinal
: If headache with no nausea but vomiting only, it might be Migraine
: If abdominal cramps then gastrointestinal (GI)
: If fear from light/headcahe in half of skull/visual blurring, it might be Migraine.

As you have mentioned, she first had pain abdomen, it appears she is having GI problem. The cause could be
: Food poisoning
: Gastritis
: Gastroenteritis

You can provide her relief by following few tips
: Avoid fatty/spicy food
: Eat light food
: Drink plenty of fluids
: Bed rest
: You can give her tab Pantoprazole-domperidone after proper prescription
: If cramps, you can give her tab Drotaverine after proper prescription
: Avoid high finer diet if cramps are occurring
: If still no relief or she is having fever/loose stools with blood, consult doctor.

Hope it will help her. Thanks. Take care.
