A member asked:
Why do i always get a headache if i don't eat at all or if i don't eat again within 5 hours of eating?

Blood sugar?: The simple answer is hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The more complex answer is to take a complete history and physical of your pre-prandial headache. Dehydration is another cause of a headache. Without a complete h & p it is impossible to tell why.
