Headache & Indigestion Symptoms

Headache and indigestion symptoms sometimes go hand-in-hand. If you are experiencing them together, it can mean that the source behind both of your discomforts is the same thing. There are a few simple tips to diagnose and treat the reasons behind your illnesses.

  1. Dehydration

    • If you feel ill after working out, it could be as simple as dehydration causing your stomach and head to react against you. Try sipping water or a sports drink to get your electrolytes back in balance. To prevent this from happening again, make sure to stay hydrated during your exercise routine.

    Hunger

    • If you all of a sudden experience headache and indigestion symptoms, it could simply mean that you are hungry. Think about the last time that you ate and what it was that you ingested. Eating small meals every few hours can help alleviate this condition if it is happening on frequently.

    The Flu

    • If you have been exposed to any sicknesses lately, the onset of head pain along with heartburn could be a sign that you are becoming ill. Try to lay down and rest, take a pain pill or an antacid (see Resources for natural alternatives) to help any upset stomach problems and make sure to stay hydrated with a lot of fluids.

    Prevention/Solution

    • The best way to stay healthy is to live a healthy lifestyle. If you are experiencing headache and indigestion symptoms on regularly, it may be time to re-evaluate your choices in diet, exercise and other factors that can have bearing on your general well-being. Stress can also be a factor in these types of cases.

    Warning

    • If you have sharp stabbing pain, spots in your vision, constant vomiting or diarrhea, blood in your stools or vomit and/or a high temperature with your headache and indigestion symptoms, you should consult a doctor immediately. These could be signs of a more serious illness.
