What Causes Severe Headache And Nausea?

My husband has mTBI from an IED blast several yrs ago; often has severe headaches, dizzyness and nausea. Today he was helping a friend tar a roof, outdoor temp was around 75 degrees F & became extremely dizzy and got a nose bleed. Could this have been from fatigue, dehydration or should we be concerned that it s something more?

Hi.

I understand your concern.

It may be due to dehydration but headache is common after TBI.

Routine physical examination and investigation are needed to ruled out underlying pathology.

Investigation like EEG / fundus examination / CT scan / MRI will be useful.

Proper diet and nutrition / maintenance of hydration and vitals are advisable.

Consult neurologist for better assistance.

I hope I have answered your question. Thank you.
