What Can I Do For Tiredness And Every Day Headaches?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Bridgend, UK

I have been feeling like I want to fall asleep again recently and to fight to keep myself awake I have been drinking coffee. I have also been having headaches a lot recently. My fiance pointed out that there is a possibility that the coffee could be the cause of headaches. But what if it's not the cause of the headaches. I have had this problem before where I'd suffer with headaches everyday, I wasn't drinking coffee back then. Any tips and advice is welcome thanks in advance.

I’m not a professional but I have learnt in my own journey through research and following good dieticians. I hope this has helped x

Coffee stimulate adrenaline to give you the energy of the fight or flight response. Adrenaline increases your cortisol levels (stress hormone ) with pcos it’s difficult to get cortisol levels to decrease which can cause anxiety and exhaustion (adrenaline fatigue)
