Why do people have headaches and feel nauseous when they've gone too long without eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypoglycemia: The most likely cause is hypoglycemia. After not eating for many hours your glycogen stores are depleted. Your circulating blood is now carrying low blood sugar to nourish your brain tissue. The brain needs blood sugar to generate energy in your brain tissue. Lake of blood sugar causes your brain to produce Lactic Acid causing your blood vessels to dilate and cause a headache, and brainstorm nause.
