Headache and Stomach Pain — Which Doctor Should I See?

Common causes include migraines with nausea, food poisoning, gastroenteritis, stress, dehydration, medication side effects, or infections. These symptoms often occur together due to shared nerve pathways.

Seek medical attention if symptoms persist beyond 48 hours, are severe, accompanied by fever or vomiting, or if you have recent head injury. Emergency care is needed for sudden severe pain or neurological changes.

Rest in a quiet, dark room, stay hydrated, eat light foods, apply a cold compress to your head, and avoid triggering foods. Over-the-counter pain relievers may help, but consult a pharmacist first.
