Migraine. Take her to her dr and let them decide for sure. It may be something else altogether. Please take her in to be sure. It could be hormones or something in the head.

Iāve suffered with migraines since I was in primary school and was referred to the childrenās hospital . They prescribed me preventive medication. I was never sick with them but felt sick however was sick a couple of years back with a migraine so was referred to the QE and am now under there care for them . Have had to have numerous attempts at preventive medications and nerve blocking injections along with mriās just to rule out nothing else was going on with the change in symptoms . They can be awful having them so it may stand a good chance that sheās experiencing them x
Iām sure her Dr might be the best person to answer that question. Also you could try the eye Dr next ( sometimes eye problems can give you migraines and that will also make you nauseous)
Good luck! I hope she gets better soon
I had symptoms like this at 10 for a whole year and then I got my period. I still get nauseous and migraines around my monthly now so it could be that as well

Ohh deff worth a doctors trip. I live with that shit daily and mines from chiari malformation. Which can effect any and all ages. Worth a quick trip to the doctors I hope she feels better! Iāve also been hit with the stomach bug going around 
zero fun!
take her to her pediatrician and make her an appointment with a gynecologist
sounds like migraine
Migraines can be triggered by the estrogen decrease right before a period. They can also be triggered by dehydration, caffeine, sugar, chocolate or even too much ibuprofenā¦ maybe have her keep a log of her headaches. It may be linked to her period or what she is eating. Magnesium helps a lot with migraines! Another tip is cold on the back of your neck with heat on your feet or hands.

Keep some Pamprin on hand, always helped me with my āmonthlyā headache
Yes, my big sister used to get really sick with vomiting etc Vaneida Soto. My little sister also gets really sick and nauseous.
Talk to her doctor. My daughter had headaches like that just before & after she started her cycle. She had SILENT MIGRAINES! She actually lost her vision for a couple of hours. Scared the devil out of us! The only reason we discovered what was going on was because one of my co workers had the same issue

It could be migraines.
My daughter always threw up with her periods (every month). Now that she is a bit older and on birth control it has stopped
When i was 14 i would constantly get horrible headaches after countless appointments it turned out i had a benign tumor on my pituitary gland
Periods definitely can do this, but also sounds like me when I didnāt realize I needed glasses when I was 18. Maybe get her eyes checked to make sure she doesnāt need glasses and/or if she has glasses to make sure theyāre to right ones.

Low iron maybe hormones I used to get migraines when I was a kidā¦ have you checked everywhere for mold?
My sister had this happen when she was younger, it was caused by her eyesight. She would get sever migraines that would make her throw up. She ended up needing glasses. It helped alot! She still gets them from time to time but not near as many or as sever.

Could she be pregnant ?
Sounds like a migraine. And it could definitely be set off from hormones. I used to get them around the tike of my period. Get her to the dr so they can get her something to help. And stock up on icepacks for the back of her neck when she gets one.
Take her to doctors as soon as possible

Yes. I had that every other month for the first year. My mother tried everything to help it stop. In the end I went on birth control and it regulated it. Vomiting and headaches stopped. When I got married, I went off birth control and it picked right back up. I never could get pregnant (endometriosis) adopted 3 kids and had a hysterectomy. You will find what is right for her. My adopted daughter is now going through the same thing. But birth control is not helping.
Both my kids and I get migraines from sinus and allergies it can also cause vomiting and nausea from allergies draining in your throat
Her back or neck could be out I know when my daughters neck and back is out she gets headaches and throws up and canāt eat.

I used to get bad migraines as a teenager that would cause me to throw up. It was hormones. Definitely track everything to find a pattern for it, and see a doctor.
My daughter got nauseous and terrible headaches when she first started and for about a year after. I would also suggest checking eyes and teeth, those 2 issues caused my othrr child to have bad headaches and nausea from the pain

I started getting migraines in grade 3 (so age 9 or 10 I believe) from the change in weather systems. I used to know when a storm was coming because I would get severe migraines that if not ācaught in timeā (meaning taking medication or going into a dark room with no light or sound and try to fall asleep) I would end up throwing up. The migraines have lessened over the years as Iām 28 now
Hormone changes in some girls can be this severe. Iād take her to a gynecologist or her primary care.
It ācould beā lots of things and from several different causes, nobody on facebook can diagnose, take her to the doctor

Could be related to her period, could be chronic migraine. Thatās exactly when I started suffering from mine, and I still do.

Most definitely that is how i know I am about to start. Unfortunately been that way since I was 13 only time I didnāt feel like I was practically dying is when I was in birth control. I know some parents look down on it for those younger in age.
Headaches can cause nausea & vomiting.
Iāve been getting periods for twenty something years now and every single time Iām about to start I get a real sick headache and nausea - I normally drink more Diet Coke than any human should probably consume but when these headaches/nausea happen one Dr Pepper and Iām golden. Anywaysā¦ totally normal but still take her to an OBGYN if sheās started her period, just in case.
Could be multiple things. Get a covid test and make a doctors app would be the best way to find out.

Could be hormones, since sheās 12ā¦ but thereās a few other issues that could need checking
Could she have a concussion?
My daughter gets sick (fever, stomach issues, diarrhea, and cramps) every month a few days before she starts. I even had to take her to ER once. She is 13 and started having periods at 10.
Take her to the Dr and demand a MRI better safe then sorry

I want to say yes. The rush of hormones in starting her period is often similar to what women feel when theyāre pregnant, because of the rush of hormones.
I could be completely wrong on that
I make a appointment with her pediatrician headache and with nausea and vomiting more then once could be hormonal but better safe then sorry.

Yes. Mine were so bad that I would get sick constantly. Then as I got older if I ate before I started I would get sick. I wouldnāt recommend giving her midol because it makes my girl shaky from the caffeine but maybe ibuprofen
Was there fever associated?
Yes. My daughter throws up every time she is on her period. It has been 4 years now.
This exact thing happens to someone I know! Never hurts to talk to a doctor to be sure.
I remember spending the night in the bathroom many times because my periods would make me so sick. Maybe set up an appointment with your doctor, just to be safe. But itās very possible that it could just be because of her period.
Maybe a period induced migraine?

Iād always ask a doctor but when I got my very first period it made me so sick. Also pamprin is the best thing Iād ever used for periods fatigues cramping etc.
Its probably the hormone change. Im 28 and still get nauseous and throw up when my period ends and the hormone level increases.
My oldest has hormonal migraines right before and during her period. I give her 2 ibuprofen, make her lay down in a cold dark room, and try to sleep. She usually wakes up feeling better.
Has she had her eyes checked? Needing glasses could cause all of those symptoms.
Migraines, I was 12 when I got my first one

It could be her period it could be stress or a bit of both. Worrying sheās gonna accidentally not be prepared. Hugs. Or sun stroke.
I still get period migraines, and my now 15 year old gets them, too. They always come with vomitting. But, I would def make a pedi appt to rule out anything else. Motrin has been a lifesaver for us, if your daughter can take it.

I always get migraines with my period and sometimes for days/weeks. Definitely can be vomit inducing.
Menstrual migraines. Iāve had them since I first started my period and Iām 49 and still get them a few days before my period starts. My 23 year old daughter gets them as well. Nothing helps except zofran for nausea and migraine medication.
I got the exact same symptoms before I had my first period. It continued on until high school. Even now Iāll still get random symptoms here and there around my cycle.

Could be growing pains. When I was going through puberty I had the worst headaches I would scream crying. My mom had to rub my temples for me until I fell asleep
My migraines started around this age headaches and sickness. Could barely move my head off the pillow, i was put on medication to try and help ease it but i still get them now and im 32 especially around the time of the month or if its been really sunny
Best choice is to go see a doctor. Could be anything from minor to major. Youāre not going to know anything for sure unless you have a doctor who will check her out thoroughly and do imaging if needed.

Iām not a doctor,but headache cause Nausea (at least for me) and since there are a lot of hormonal changes going on Iād say the headache is from that. But i would take her to doc, couldnāt hurt. Hope she feels better.
Could be many things, hormones, need for glasses, vertigo, dehydration from the hot weather, acid reflux, etc. Most drs are very quick and efficient with virtual visits and if necessary they can get her in to do labs or vision screening

I want to say yes this can cause that! I remember when I got mine for the first time, I was in gym class and literally got super dizzy, nauseous and passed out! I got home and later that night started my period so I could absolutely see this to be the cause! To this day I still get super bad headaches on my period! But probably a call to get dr wouldnāt hurt!
Migraines and dehydration. My 12 year old daughter gets them too if she doesnāt drink alot of water
My chronic migraines were from being anemic which was made worse by both pregnancies. I take over the counter iron supplements which helps. However if it isnāt diagnosed right an over dose of iron isnāt good either. She just started puberty so it could be something as simple as the hormones being 2 much 4 her 2 handle right now. Definitely see a doctor who will start with the basics and work upfront there.
That happened to me before I went to the Dr and they realized that I needed glasses 
But could also be something else like vertigo, deficit of iron, dehydration, or start of migraine
I get really nasty headaches right before my period too. So it could be that
Agree with all the suggestions to go see a doctor. Foe me that is migraine symptoms. However, it could be anything. Have her checker. Keep track of how often she gets them.
Hormone changes can cause migraine so a check up with the gp would be a good idea
Yes i get migranes the day before mine and the day after im guessing from the hormone fluctuation
Yes. Hydrate and see if it gets better. Most likely a hormone change but I suggest tell her primary care just incase it persist or more symptoms appear
Might need glasses or contacts
Seek drs a

YES, OF COURESE, DEFINITELY, ABSOLUTELY!! Everyone is different!!
It could be abdominal migraines can be caused by anxiety in teenagers ?
Can need glasses but the vomiting makes it seem like something else. Definitely see a doctor for blood work and eye check up
Dehydration is an easy first step. Increase water intake and see if it helps. Lack of good sleep and lack of food are also triggers for me.
This is the 1st usually 1st periods they have an upset stomach beforehand , might be the hot weather ?
Check your furnace for leaks
