Can weight loss pills cause headaches?

Home | News | Doctor Q&A Follow Dripcare information on google news
Hello doctor, Recently, I've been experiencing headaches accompanied by a mild fever in the evening. Currently, I’m taking weight loss pills, which make me feel less hungry, so I only eat 1-2 meals a day, and instead, I drink water. Doctor, can taking weight loss pills cause headaches? Thank you.

Hello,

Regarding the question "Can weight loss pills cause headaches?" the doctor provides the following explanation:

If you have a headache along with a mild fever, you should use a thermometer to determine whether you actually have a fever or are just feeling hot. If you are experiencing both a headache and a fever, you should immediately consult an infectious disease specialist.

Additionally, rapid weight loss, sudden changes in diet, and prolonged use of electronic devices can be causes of headaches. If you suspect that the headaches are due to the weight loss pills, you need to provide the name of the pills and the dosage for the doctor to determine whether the medication is causing the symptoms.

Therefore, you should first consult an infectious disease specialist. If infectious diseases are ruled out, you should see a neurologist and a nutritionist to receive specific advice on whether the headaches are caused by the weight loss pills.

Best regards!
