Q: Nausea and headache

asked by: DoctorQuestion on April 17th, 2008

I have seen a GP, but he explains that there could be something wrong with my eyes, causing the headaches which leads to nausea, but my optometrist says my eyes is in good condition. I have been experiencing nausea, permanent headaches, a weird taste in my mouth, like a hangover, but I don't drink alcohol or coffee. I was taking Roaccutane for 6 months, but haven't been taking for 4 months now. I donated blood about 3 months ago, the similar period that I started feeling this way. What can be wrong with me?

It is very hard to tell what might be causing your symptoms. Nausea and headache are very common symptoms for a lot of disorders. Your optometrist excluded eye disorder. The next step is to consult an ENT-specialist about your ears. Standard blood analyses can also be useful: blood count, hemoglobin, sedimentation, CRP, liver status, kidney status. Finally, you may want to visit a neurologist.

Taking Roacutane 6 months ago and blood donation 3 months ago should not cause your symptoms to last so long.
