What Causes Headache And Nausea?
I m waking up with a head ache and only my head feels hot. I feel weak and shaky. This problem comes and goes all day. The headache usually gets worse and I feel nauseous. This has been going on for a over a week now. I also feel confused very often and forget things a lot. I have a dr appt Monday but I m very worried.

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.You are apparently having acute headache of 1 week duration,intermittently worsening, accompanied with nausea.It can be a primary headache-likely migraine.On the other hand,since this is acute in onset,secondary causes has to be rules out like any intracranial pathology.Please visit a neurologist so that he can examine you,do a fundoscopic examination and advise for a brain imaging(if he feels so) to establish your diagnosis. I hope it helps.
