I have had a severe headache for 2 days that did not improve with Diclofenac sodium. I also have nausea and body aches, and this occurs 1-2 days before and after my menstrual period. What could be the cause?
Your symptoms suggest a menstrual-related migraine (hormonal headache), which commonly occurs 1-2 days before or after periods due to hormonal changes. It can cause severe headache, nausea, and body aches, and may not always respond to medicines like Diclofenac sodium. You can try resting in a dark, quiet room, staying well hydrated, and using simple pain relief. If the headache is unusually severe, different from your usual pattern, or associated with vomiting, vision changes, or weakness, seek medical advice promptly.
