A member asked:

How come i get headaches and feel nauseous when i don't eat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need food.: You get headaches when yu don't eat because your body and brain is craving nutrition. If you have not been drinking you are also dehydrated. You need to eat and drink fluids for your body to functon. Listen to your body. It is telling you that you need to eat.
