What Can Be The Cause For The Severe Headache?

I got a headache around 4 this afternoon, shortly after I started episode of hot flashes followed immediately by lightheadedness, and my headache would gradually get worse. these cycles were about 10 min in between. at about 7 I ate and had a cup of coffee thinking it was just a caffeine headache. within an hour I was feeling much better and now im having the same symptoms but with constant nausea now. im exhausted but I cant seem to fall asleep.

Hello
I appreciate your concern
Headache can be caused by number of reasons like
Fatigue induced
Vascular headache or migraine
High blood pressure can precipitate headache
Brain tumor , hypoxia electrolytic imbalances are other major causes for headache

For better treatment of a headache one need to address the underlying cause for it

I would like further information to help you better
Your age and complete medical history
is it associated with vision problem?

Apart from coffee you can take ibuprofen for headache
In my opinion you should consult a neurologist for clinical examination and investigation like an MRI if need be, for confirmation of diagnosis

Thanks for your question
please feel free to ask for more assistance, I will be happy to help you .
Best wishes
