All sorts of things: With the non-specific symptoms you describe, she needs to have a complete physical exam & lab work for anemia + whatever else her doctor deems necessary. If there is no medical cause found, her doctor may refer her to a mental health provider for assessment for depression or other issues. Have her start a " headache journal" to help her doctor see the pattern of occurrence.
