How to deal with headaches during school, clinicals or while on the job?

[Summers3]

Hi guys,

I am someone who experiences headaches and fatigue while working/classes somewhat on a decently regular basis. I'm scared to not be at my mental and physical best especially when I'm doing a 12 hr clinical or something like that where I would have to be moving nonstop tiredlessly.

Headaches really tire me out and I simply can't function well or do critical thinking like this.

Do you have any advice on how to deal with this?

please and thank you!

We cannot offer medical or treatment advice on this site. You need to consult with your primary health care provider as they are in the best position to evaluate your bothersome headaches and order tests or treatment. Good luck

If you're getting headaches on a somewhat frequent basis you should have that looked into. Most people don't get headaches and if they do, they normally aren't exhausted by them. Get it checked!
