Have to check your iron level.or your are your vitamin d sometimes if you're low on vitamin d that can cause bad headaches too or be if you're low and b12 that can give you bfrain fog lower ferrous sulfate. You might want to go to eating softer foods and smoothies for a while I know it's a pain but that might help. 🙏🙏😇😇😇
Hi @cherawgirl, so sorry to hear of your problems with fainting going on for so long.
For nine months, in the throes of an autoimmune disorder, I had gagging attacks without nausea. They did go away before I started on steroids, but they were debilitating. At the time, I researched a lot of exercises online and ways to reset the vagus nerve. Have you ever looked into those? Maybe they could help you.
There's also work by Dr. Stephen Porges, "The Polyvagal Theory". In Dr. Porges words, "the perspective placed an emphasis between psychological experiences and physical manifestations in the body." It might be worth looking into Dr. Porges work, as he is compassionate and insightful, and who knows, maybe it could help.
Have you ever thought about going to a neurologist to help with your headaches maybe starting a medication called topamax are getting those shots in your head to help with headaches. Do you eat a small meals throughout the day that might help and try to cut out gluten and drink try to drink fluids throughout the day. Even if you don't test gluten you might be gluten sensitive so I try to cut out the gluten and that helps with me I'm cutting out the gluten really helped hopes for me. 😇😀🤣 Sometimes gluten to make you feel nauseous and dizzy and make you pass out. 🙏🆓😇😇🙏🙏
