Patient's question:
You are relatively overweight, have irregular menstruation, endocrine dysfunction, and some headaches. At first, the pain was mild, but recently it has become persistent and intermittent, with the worst pain in the morning upon waking up. You also experience nausea and vomiting. Is the nausea accompanied by headaches due to increased intracranial pressure?Doctor's answer:
The causes of headache in patients are relatively numerous. Based on the current clinical manifestations of the patient alone, it is not possible to make a definitive diagnosis. This requires assessing whether the patient has a cold or fever, whether blood pressure and other indicators are normal, and so on. If conditions such as rhinitis, sinusitis, or cervical spondylosis are present, they can all cause headaches. If the patient experiences stress from daily work and life, or irregular rest patterns, it may also be a manifestation of tension-type headache. In such cases, it is necessary to first seek a definitive diagnosis by visiting the neurology department of a regular hospital.
