Suggest Treatment For Headaches And Pain In Gums
Question: I have had headaches fairly constant for over 3 months now Sometimes they are tension headaches but mostly just all over and now my gums hurt My BP is fine and the only other thing is that I have fibromyalgia. I am now waking up nauseated along with it They are much worse when I am laying down. Have also started having continuous hot flashes No temp but very warm and very uncomfortable.
Brief Answer:
Some likely conditions
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I appreciate your insight. Your headache is likely to be stress related. The feeling of heat and hot flushes are hormone related. Most people get it at the time of menopause or panhysterectomy with the removal of ovaries also, but in some, the symptoms may appear or continue years later.
Have you checked your vitamin D any time? Also have your thyroid hormones checked. Hyperthyroidism may manifest with feeling hot and also leads to anxiety and other symptoms.

I had hot flashes years ago They have just now returned I am on thyroid med and they have been checked I would never have imagined that I could have a continual headache for almost 3 months. Very debilitating. I am on vitamin D perscription
Brief Answer:
Recheck levels
Detailed Answer:
You need to check your Thyroid hormone levels. May be you are taking more than you need.
Check your vitamin D level to make sure they are in the normal range.
The head ache will improve after your Thyroid medication is adjusted. You should have a healthy diet, exercise at least 30 minutes a day and practice stress relieving measures like yoga, meditation or relaxation techniques. Topiramate may help if these measures are not sufficient. Minimise the dose of painkillers as excess use leads to rebound headaches.
