If you’re looking for a quick way to get an answer without having to hunt through web pages, just ask the same question of a knowledge‑based assistant – e.g., "What should I do if I have a sudden headache and feel nauseous?" The answer will usually summarize the most common home‑care steps that are recommended by medical organisations such as Mayo Clinic, NHS, or the CDC.
If you prefer to read it yourself, here’s a concise, medically‑grounded guide you can copy into your notes or save for later:

### Quick Home‑Care Checklist (for sudden headaches, nausea, and light/dark sensitivity)
| Symptom | Typical Action | Why It Helps |
|---------|----------------|--------------|
| **Headache / Migraines** | • Rest in a dark, quiet room.
• Apply a cold pack or warm compress to the forehead/temple.
• Take an over‑the‑counter pain reliever (ibuprofen 400 mg or acetaminophen 500 mg) if no contraindication. | Reduces neural sensitization and lowers inflammation. |
| **Nausea / Vomiting** | • Sip clear fluids (water, diluted apple juice, oral rehydration solution).
• Try ginger tea or chew a small piece of dried ginger.
• If vomiting persists, consider an antihistamine like dimenhydrinate 50 mg. | Stabilizes gastric motility and reduces vestibular stimulation. |
| **Photophobia / Light Sensitivity** | • Wear sunglasses with polarized lenses; close curtains or use blackout blinds.
• Dim ambient lighting; avoid bright overhead lights. | Lowers retinal excitability, decreasing discomfort. |
| **Severe Dizziness (Vertigo)** | • Sit or lie down in a darkened room; focus on a fixed point on the floor.
• Use vestibular suppressants such as meclizine 25 mg if needed. | Reduces vertiginous sensations and prevents falls. |

## 3. How to Use This Sheet
1. **Identify the Problem** – Look at your symptoms (e.g., "I feel nauseated" or "I’m dizzy") and match them to the corresponding section above.
2. **Apply the Suggested Remedy** – Follow the specific instruction for that symptom.
*Example:* If you’re experiencing nausea, start with a few sips of clear fluid, then move on to ginger tea if needed.
3. **Observe Your Body’s Response** – Notice whether the remedy helps or worsens your symptoms.
*If symptoms persist or worsen after 30–60 minutes*, it may indicate that the underlying cause is more serious (e.g., infection, severe dehydration).
4. **Know When to Seek Professional Help** – If you meet any of these red‑flag criteria, seek medical attention promptly:
| Red‑Flag Condition | Action |
|--------------------|--------|
| Fever ≥ 38 °C (100.4 °F) that does not improve with rest or over‑the‑counter fever reducers | Call your healthcare provider; consider a visit to urgent care. |
| Persistent vomiting > 24 h or inability to keep fluids down | Seek medical evaluation for dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, or possible infection. |
| Severe abdominal pain (sharp, localized, worsening) | Urgent medical assessment – could indicate appendicitis, pancreatitis, etc. |
| Blood in vomit or stool (hematemesis or melena) | Immediate medical attention; potential GI bleeding. |
| Signs of dehydration: dizziness, fainting, decreased urine output (<6–8 oz per day), dry mouth, rapid pulse | Medical evaluation for IV fluids and electrolytes. |
| Fever > 100.4°F (> 38°C) with chills or persistent over 48 hrs | Possible infection – require further workup (labs, imaging). |

## 2. What You Should Do Immediately
1. **Stop eating/drinking** until you are sure vomiting is no longer occurring.
2. **Call your primary care provider or urgent‑care nurse line** right away.
*If they advise you to come in,* do so immediately—do not wait for a scheduled appointment.
3. **Keep a symptom diary**: record times of vomiting, any associated pain, fever, or diarrhea, and note what you ate before the episode.
4. **Check your temperature** with a thermometer; keep a log (e.g., 10 am: 99.6°F, 2 pm: 100.8°F).

## Why you should seek help sooner
| Symptom | Typical mild‑case sign | Red flag indicating possible serious issue |
|---------|------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| **Occasional vomiting after a meal** | Usually self‑limited; improves with rest and hydration | Persistent vomiting, especially if accompanied by pain or fever. |
| **Low‑grade fever (<100 °F)** | Often benign; may be part of normal immune response | Fever >101–102 °F that persists for >48 h or rises above 103 °F. |
| **Abdominal pain** | Mild cramping, relieved by lying down | Severe, sharp, or localized pain that worsens with movement or after eating. |
| **Weight loss / decreased appetite** | Minor, due to temporary discomfort | Significant weight loss (>5% body weight) over weeks, or inability to keep food down. |
If the patient experiences any of these warning signs—especially high fever, severe abdominal pain, or significant weight loss—she should seek medical care promptly.

## 3. Practical Management and Lifestyle Guidance
| **Area** | **Recommendations** |
|----------|---------------------|
| **Dietary Modifications** | • **Low‑FODMAP meals:** Focus on grains (rice, oats), lean proteins (chicken, fish), lactose‑free dairy or plant milks.
• **Avoid trigger foods:** Wheat, onions, garlic, beans, lentils, high‑fructose fruits (apples, pears).
• **Smaller, frequent meals** (5–6 times/day) to reduce bloating. |
| **Exercise & Activity** | • 30 min moderate walking daily.
• Light yoga or stretching can aid digestion. |
| **Stress Management** | • Mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises, or therapy to address anxiety linked with IBS. |
| **Medical Follow‑up** | • Regular check‑ins every 6–12 months to monitor symptoms and adjust treatment. |

## Bottom Line
- **Surgery is not recommended** for your condition; a medically managed approach can relieve pain and prevent complications.
- Your **IBS‑C diagnosis** explains the abdominal discomfort, while the **H2R5 variant** may increase your sensitivity to gut irritation.
- A comprehensive plan—dietary changes, medication, stress reduction, and routine follow‑up—offers the best chance of symptom control and quality‑of‑life improvement.
- Keep an open dialogue with your gastroenterologist; if new or worsening symptoms arise (e.g., sudden weight loss, severe pain, bleeding), seek care promptly.
