Hello doctor,
I sometimes get dizzy naturally, about 20-30 minutes after the dizziness will be a headache (terrible pain), then nausea (vomiting). Vomiting will relieve headaches, but very tired. This process takes about 1-2 hours. The doctor asked me to suddenly have a severe headache, what should I see? Thanks for the advice doctor.
