Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: In recent years, headaches start a day before the menstrual period (the pain is located near the temples, with a sensation of swelling and protrusion in the temples during the pain, more prominent than usual). During severe episodes, it becomes difficult to sleep, and sometimes the pain is so intense that it feels like nausea. Additionally, even a slight cold can cause severe headaches.What should I do? What should I pay attention to? Are there any methods to prevent these headaches from occurring? What part of the body might be causing this?
Duration and onset of the current illness: First additional information: Also, the menstrual period starts about a week earlier each time.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the description of the situation, it is related to the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, with main manifestations including: headaches, dizziness, insomnia, fatigue, emotional instability, breast tenderness, facial edema, and other symptoms, among which emotional instability is the most prominent. Mild cases may be quiet and reserved, with a gloomy mood; severe cases may have a short temper, be easily agitated, and become furious over minor frustrations. In addition to avoiding overwork and stress, methods such as listening to cheerful music and watching humorous works can help alleviate negative emotions. Additionally, you can supplement with complex B vitamins and oryzanol. The diet should be light and low in sweets.
