Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on the information you've provided, possible explanations for your symptoms include:
-
Migraine: A neurological condition that can cause multiple symptoms. It's frequently characterized by intense, debilitating headaches. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, difficulty speaking, numbness or tingling, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines are often accompanied by other signs and symptoms.
- Treatment typically includes pain relieving and preventive medications.
-
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): A combination of symptoms that many women get about a week or two before their period. Symptoms can include migraines, back pain, mood swings, and changes in sleep patterns.
- Treatment can involve lifestyle changes, such as regular physical exercise, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help with back pain and headaches. If symptoms are severe, a healthcare provider may recommend other treatments.
-
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): An infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, but some are caused by viruses and fungi. UTIs are among the most common infections in humans.
- Treatment usually involves antibiotics to kill the bacteria causing the infection.
-
Stress or Anxiety: Physical symptoms can include headaches, sleep disturbances, and changes in appetite. Stress can also affect mood and cause mood swings.
- Treatment can involve a combination of lifestyle changes, therapy, and medication.
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list and other conditions could also explain your symptoms.
What you can do
- Make an appointment with your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms. They may want to perform some tests to help determine the cause of your symptoms.
- Keep a symptom diary. This can help you and your healthcare provider identify patterns that might not be apparent otherwise.
- Try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This includes eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, ensuring you get enough sleep, and managing stress.
- Drink plenty of fluids and avoid irritants such as caffeine and alcohol to help manage your migraines and nausea.
What you should look out for
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
- Severe headache or migraine that doesn't improve with medication
- Fever or severe back pain, which could indicate a kidney infection
- Increased frequency or urgency of urination, or pain or burning when you urinate
- Persistent or worsening mood swings or changes in sleep patterns
