Hyper acidity also leads to such symptoms .it can be treated with proper diet and medicine.its stomach issue

Dr. Syed Zohaib Maqbool · Answer

Could be due to disturbance in blood sugar level, blood pressure level, sleep disturbance, stress, caffeine/nicotine withdrawal symptoms, or some other issue. You can advise him to get a good 7-8 hrs sleep, check blood sugar and blood pressure as needed, use complex carbs and slow to digest foods in sehri, avoid stress, gradually cut down on tea/coffee/cigarette (if using, abrupt cessation can cause these symptoms); if still not better then consult a medical specialist. Drink lots of water.

Dr. Tahir Angez Khan · Answer

This pattern is quite typical and not likely something very dangerous, but it still needs a structured answer.
Most probable causes
Dehydration
Fasting for 6–7 hours (especially in warm weather) → reduced fluid intake
Headache improves after iftar → strong clue
May feel “feverish” without actual fever
Hypoglycemia
Low blood sugar during fasting can cause:
Frontal headache
Weakness, irritability
Relief after eating supports this
Caffeine withdrawal
If he usually takes tea/coffee and stops during fasting
Headache improves after evening intake
Tension-type headache
Frontal, pressure-like pain
Triggered by fatigue, dehydration, or stress
Less likely but important to consider
Migraine (if severe, throbbing, light sensitivity)
Sinus-related headache (if nasal symptoms present)
What to advise (practical management)
During Ramadan:
Ensure good hydration between iftar and sehri
Add oral fluids + electrolytes
Avoid excessive caffeine withdrawal (gradual reduction)
Take balanced sehri (complex carbs + protein)
Adequate sleep
Simple medication (if needed):
Paracetamol at iftar is reasonable
Red flags (need evaluation)
If any of these are present, don’t ignore:
Persistent headache even after eating
Vomiting, visual disturbance
Very high blood pressure
First-ever severe headache
Neurological deficit
