Hi Carol,

I am sorry your husband has been experiencing these symptoms.You need to make an appointment for your husband to see his GP as soon as possible. He may order a scan and take a blood sample since he has been sick quite often. He may also prescribe some medication to help with the headaches and drowsiness.

Kind regards,

All the team at the Roy Castle Helpline
