What Causes Recurring Headache, Heartburn, Fatigue And Abdominal Discomfort?
I have a low grade headache, heartburn, excess stomach gas --sometimes a generally upset stomach especially after eating and generally low energy--which is not normal for me. this has been going on for at least a couple of weeks. Also my husband is experiencing almost similar symptoms.

Hello,
Recurrent headaches, heartburn, abdominal discomfort, along with fatigue are likely related to the acidity that is caused due to food habits. As you said you and your husband are having the similar issues since some duration, whenever patients come to me with similar complaints, I advise them to see if they are consuming food frequently that causes acidity. If you observe something like this then try stopping its consumption for a week and see if it makes any difference.
And if you have doubts or unsure about such items then consult a dietician and gather more information on it. If after following these things the issue persists then better to see a physician and follow his advice for better management as with proper history and examination it will be easy for your doctor to find out the exact underlying cause for it and treat it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
