I’ve had a severe migraine for 5 days that goes away temporarily when eating, especially sugary foods?
I’m female, 22 years old and 8 weeks pregnant. I’ve had a severe migraine for 5 days that goes away temporarily when eating, especially sugary foods, but comes back shortly after. I’m experiencing sensitivity to light, throbbing, and it hurts when I move suddenly. My pupils look small/constricted. Paracetamol has no effect. What could the cause be? Should I be worried? I’m taking sertraline 100mg for depression and anxiety, and pregnacare original.
I think you are anaemic ..you should do a CBC asap ..in this period of pregnancy you should be receiving ironfolic acid supplements..do you?
Have you made a CBC recently.??
Headaches that disappears with eating sugary foods are usually due to hypotension which can be caused initially with anaemia..
Hi
In my opinion you have Hypoglycaemic headaches which can also cause you eye problems , i recommend avoiding too much sugar which as you experienced reliefs headache for a while but headaches will keep coming unless you lower your sugar intake , eat carbohydrates and proteins
Also i recommend both fasting and postbrandial sugar tests , you have trunk obesity(abdomin sides back ) take seriously
Good Luck
hi
this may be due to side effects of sertaline or transient hypoglycemia due to increased metabolism.
get a CBC and electrolytes checked.
thanks
Just reduction of migraine triggers lack of sleep, fatigue, stress, sugary foods will improve your condition
