Migraine pain on the left side with nausea, fatigue indicates what pathology?

Ask
Hello doctor. I am 47 years old this year. I have had headaches for over a year and the symptoms are getting more and more obvious. I had pain in the left half of my head, at first the pain was just outside the cortex but then it was sharp and whirling deep into the brain. Before, when I drank beer, I usually didn't have a headache, but these days, just drinking a little bit, I have a severe headache. Usually the headache is very bad in the evening, I have taken pain relievers but it does not get better. Also, I often feel nauseous for no reason. I always feel tired and grumpy. Please advise me if I have a headache on the left side with nausea and fatigue, what disease does it indicate? Thank you.

Hello. The doctor would like to answer the question: "What disease does the left migraine with nausea and fatigue indicate?" Your symptoms are as follows:
The left migraine and nausea you describe have some of the features of a migraine headache and the trigger is beer drinking. However, other types of headaches have not been ruled out, and causes due to damage to the brain have not been ruled out. First of all, you have to stop drinking alcohol.
Next, he has had a headache for a long time, the intensity of the pain is high, affecting quality of life, pain medication cannot be controlled, so he needs to see a neurologist at a reputable medical facility or one of the following: Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide soon.
The doctor will examine and do the necessary tests to find out the correct diagnosis of your headache, thereby giving an appropriate treatment plan to control the headache.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions about Vinmec. Best regards!
