Hello thanks for asking from HCM

I can understand your concern. The symptoms persistent tiredness, headaches, poor concentration, low mood and depressed feelings can occur due to mild depression or also due to tension headache. To make proper diagnosis detailed evaluation is needed. Persistent tiredness even with normal sleep, somatic complaints headache etc points towards depression.

In such symptoms medicines like Amitryptiline, Nortryptiline, Duloxetine can help. These medicines will help in reduction of symptoms of depression and will also result in reduction of headache. For severe pain analgesics like mefanemic acid, Ibuprofen can help. In more severe headache ergot drugs are useful. Visit a psychiatrist for evaluation and detailed treatment.

Thanks, hope this helps you.

I went through your details. Headache is always a problem for adolescents. You are 17 year young girl and therefore, you should be able to analyze the causes of it. The possible causes are migraine, eye stress, normal mental stress, physical fatigue, anxiety and depression, inflammation of sinus etc. You need to consult a physician to ascertain the conditions and to make a diagnosis. After a proper diagnosis, he will advise you with the correct treatment.
