Dear TeenHealthFX,
My name is x and I always feel tired, headache, like to vomit and less energy on my body especially when I was studying. Can you tell me what sickness I was suffering from?

Dear Tired, Headache And Nauseous,
TeenHealthFX is sorry to hear that you are feeling poorly - dealing with headaches, fatigue and constant nausea can not be much fun and is certainly not something you should have to live with.
Unfortunately, TeenHealthFX cannot make diagnoses over the Internet, so only a doctor can determine where your symptoms are coming from. What we can tell you is that although common, headaches, chronic fatigue and nausea can be the result of a number of medical conditions as well as external pressures like the stress you may feel when studying.
Usually headaches alone are not all that serious, and they will resolve themselves in a few days. However, since you report that you have been experiencing them for sometime now and they are accompanied by nausea, TeenHealthFX thinks you ought to make an appointment to see your doctor. He or she can examine you and let you know for sure what is going on.
If you live in northern New Jersey and would like to meet with a doctor from the Adolescent/Young Adult Center For Health you can call 973.971.6457 for an appointment.
