What Causes Intense Headache And Nausea?
I woke up with an intense headache and nausea. I had had acid reflux a day before and had anti acid to cure it. I didn t have a proper meal when I went to sleep, which probably indicates that I went to sleep on an empty stomach. Could this have been the cause for the headache and nausea?

Hello
I share your concern
Not taking food before sleep may cause hypoglycemia ( low blood sugar level) which may cause headcahe and nausea.
Another possibility is Migraine or vascular headache
Here, I would like further information for better assessment like
your age, and relevant medical history
had you ever have such headache in past
are you having dizziness or vision problems?
I would advise you to take glucose water if you are not diabetic
otherwise take acetaminophen with antiemetic like domperidone.
hope this help you
Best wishes
