[34F] Experiencing migraine with sinus pressure and other symptoms

What might be happening

Your symptoms could be related to a few different issues:

1. Migraine: Your severe headache, worsened by noise and light, suggests a migraine. Migraines can also cause nausea and fatigue. Treatment often includes medications like triptans or NSAIDs, and sometimes anti-nausea drugs.

2. Sinusitis: The sinus pressure and earache might indicate a sinus infection, which can also cause dizziness and fatigue. This can be viral or bacterial, and treatment may involve decongestants, nasal sprays, or antibiotics if bacterial.

3. Medication Side Effects: While you haven't experienced side effects before, sometimes medications like Strattera can cause dizziness or gastrointestinal symptoms.

What you can do

Migraine:

• Continue using Ketorolac as prescribed.
• Rest in a dark, quiet room.
• Stay hydrated and maintain a regular sleep schedule.

Sinus Pressure:

• Use a saline nasal spray or rinse.
• Apply a warm compress to your face.
• Consider over-the-counter decongestants.

General Tips:

• Track your symptoms using MDandMe to identify triggers and patterns.
• Avoid known migraine triggers like certain foods or stress.

What you should look out for

Seek medical attention if you experience:

• Worsening headache or new symptoms like visual changes.
• High fever or persistent vomiting.
• Severe dizziness or fainting.

Remember, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a formal diagnosis and treatment plan.
