What should I do if I have a headache and nausea on the first day of my period?

Headache and nausea on the first day of menstruation may be normal, caused by a cold, perimenopausal syndrome, etc.

1. Normal phenomenon

Hormone fluctuations during menstruation can stimulate blood vessels or nerves in the head, leading to neuralgia or vasospasm. Severe headaches can cause nausea, which is a normal phenomenon.

In addition to the relatively common reasons mentioned above, there are other reasons, such as hypoglycemia, acute gastroenteritis, colds, etc. If you have any discomfort, you should seek medical attention and receive timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
