Talk to General Physician on Headache While Fasting
Asking For Self, Male 23, Gujranwala
Aslamualaikum,
I have a headache problem while fasting. Last year, I had the same issue. When I fast, I get a severe headache, and it only gets better after Iftar with time.
Please tell me what I should eat or avoid to prevent this. Also, if there is any supplement that can help, kindly suggest it.
JazakAllah!

for proper diagnosis and management need to be visited by a senior general physician specialist
Headaches during fasting are common and can result from dehydration, low blood sugar, caffeine withdrawal, or changes in sleep patterns.
Drinking plenty of water between Iftar and Suhoor (at least 8–10 glasses).
Avoid excessive tea/coffee, as they can cause dehydration.
Eat whole wheat bread, oats for sustained energy.Add protein sources like eggs, yogurt, and nuts.Avoid sugary foods that cause a rapid spike and drop in blood sugar.
aGradually reduce intake before Ramadan to avoid withdrawal headaches.
Green tea can be a milder alternative.
Reduce salty and processed foods that can cause dehydration.
Avoid skipping sahri, as prolonged fasting increases headache risk.
Do proper rest and a consistent sleep to prevent fatigue-related headache
Magnesium (400 mg daily) can help prevent headaches.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) (200-400 mg) may reduce migraine frequency.
Coenzyme Q10 may also help in some cases.
If you have migraine . Book online consultation to treat you . Need some more history
