What Causes Headache Along With Dizzness And Shortness Of Breath?
I was travelling last week - starting on Thursday I got a horrible headache, very dizzy, I was sick to my stomach. The only thing I could keep down on Friday was Ginger Ale. I slept most of Friday. We flew home at 12:50 am Saturday AM. obviously the worst flight of my life other than I tried sleeping AS I could. I slept all of Saturday and most of Sunday. It hurts to lift my head. I am achy and have times when it is hard to catch my breath. I have a stent in my heart and know left cartroid artery is showing some narrowing. Also very sweaty

Hi,
The complaints you have could be due to travel sickness. However, the history of stent insertion for carotid artery narrowing demands a recheck up to exclude aggravation of symptoms due to less blood supply to the brain.
Take rest. Continue the medication. Consult your neurosurgeon at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
