I get menstrual migrainesā¦ comes with feeling sick, light sensitivity mostlyā¦ started when I got my first period. Birth control pills helped tons as a teen.
If her headaches continue I would suggest her having a CT scan or MRI done to rule out anything serious. Yes a girlās period van cause those symptoms, but it shouldnāt last long and if they do call her Dr to have her checked. Luckily my 11 yr old started her 1st period a couple weeks ago but never experienced anythingā¦ no cramps, no headacheā¦ I told her she sucks LOL

I get bad mirgines with my period sometimes and the same thing happens to me it hurts so bad that I throw up, its a hormonal thing!
My daughter is 9 and the last year and a half she was getting migraine headaches daily. Had an MRI and thankfully nothing showed but her sinuses were inflammed! Maybe checking into that with her pediatrician. It also could be related to her periods too.
Yes. When I hit puberty I began getting migraines always at the start of my cycle. Try Excedrin migraine at the onset of any headache and see a neurologist.
My cousins 9 year old son had the exact same symptoms and was diagnosed with a brain tumor! Please bring her & get an MRI. He had been to Urgent Care twice and they said it was a bug. They finally went to the emergency room after he got really nauseous while playing soccer. That Doctor did the MRI & found the tumor.
Sounds like migrainesā¦vomiting comes w migraines & stomach pains sometimes. Iāve been having migraines for my whole life & my son did for about 5 yrs & now my 7 yr old has had them for 1 yr
Itās could be vertigo? My friend had it for weeks at age 14 years old. I suggest 2 pillows head lift up
Hormones or sinus issues. Take her to pediatrician to be sure
My 12 year old son has been getting migraines. But he has allergies and I think it might be from that. But when we go back to dr for his ADHD im gonna talk to her about it.
My oldest daughter would run a fever and throw up 2 days before she started then they day she started and the next day she would get a migraine. It was all hormonal, low dose birthcontrol helped
Hormones, the fluctuations could be too much. Iād suggest getting her seen.

Absolutely. Hormonal migraines are a thing, and they can be debilitating. I have a migraine disorder. Hormones make it one hundred times worse. Poor kiddo.

So I have a rare condition that hormones play a role in. Itās called idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Iām not saying this is what she could have itās probably likely more migraines, but to be on the safe side have her optic nerve checked for swelling.
I also have chronic migraines & like many have said hormones play a big roll. But look up IIH. Itās scary but not common & highly overlooked. Hugs & hope she feels better soon. Migraines alone are not fun at all. I hope she doesnāt have what I do. It awful and debilitating.
Hugs 
hopefully itās just a sign for her time of month.

I have chronic migraines, and mine are the most debilitating during my period. Unfortunately you could be given all the advice in the world, but really itās trial and error until she finds something that works for her 
Mine is a cold, pitch black quiet room after a hot shower. Liquid IV to get fluids down throughout the day, as well. Looooooots of sleep.
If they get worse, Mobile IV Therapy has been a lifesaver!

Yes, it most definitely can. Iād get cramps so bad I couldnāt stand up, eat, or do anything. It would cause more pain and vomiting. Give her some pain reliever. If she gets cramps, have her lay down with a heating pad on her belly. If it continues, I would definitely see a doctor. Or see if she can take migraine medication!

A lot of women get hormonal migraines. I began getting cluster migraines around that time too (Iām old now)ā¦ either way, Iād get her checked. Headaches can often be an indicator for abnormal brain ailments, ie tumors. Probably nothing, but better safe then sorry.

Headache and vomiting is more common than people think with periods. Especially with all the new hormones. You could have her see a chiropractor it may actually help. I was just getting headaches in general and seeing the chiropractor really helped me.

Definitely could be the cause! I remember a few times crying and laying on a floor in a store because I was in so much pain around 11-15y old. get some extra strength midol. If the pain/headache/vomiting continues Iād see a dr maybe they can prescribe stronger meds or see what is really up with her sickness

I get hormonal migraines right around period time. They suck so bad. If it becomes concerning please have her see her pediatrician.

Are the headaches, just headaches? Or are they migraines? I suffer from migraines and if itās bad enough, nausea to the point of vomiting. The flux of hormones could be causing migraines, which is common.

Yes. Before reading the last sentence, I was actually going to ask if sheās started her period yet or not. I would take her to see her pediatrician. They may be able to get her some medication to help her, around that time of month. Or, she may have to start taking birth control. Cause birth control doesnāt only help prevent pregnancies. It helps a lot with menstruation. I had to start taking it, when I was like 16 I think it was. To regulate my periods, and my cramps. And it helped my periods not be so bad. After having my children thou and getting my tubes tied, Iāve since stopped. Cause well I didnāt need birth controlš¤· and my period have then became horrible
I get nausea sometimes around my period, not always, I never actually throw up but Iām sure some people do. I feel like I have a headache most of the time so I canāt speak on that 
Sounds a lot like migraines, I got them around that age and still do due to it being hereditary in my family it also causes me to be nauseous. Could be her period, might need her eyes checked, if it continues every day or many times a week Iād see a neurologist.
So for me when I first started my menstrual cycle I had severe cramps that gave me headaches, nausea/ sometimes vomiting as well. The only thing that helped was prating for the pain to go away and resting. I hope you find better answers/ responses.
When I first start my periods I would get deathly sick, nausea, head aches, stomach cramping, through the years it did let up.
Could be near to starting or before her cycle. I used to get headaches and upset tummy every time when I first started
When I had my wisdom teeth coming in I would get migranes to the point that Iād be nauseous and vomit. Went away once I got them out.
It could be her hormones leading up to a period BUT I suffered soooooo much like this around her age and had eye tests etc and no one could figure out why and put it down to hormonesā¦A few years later into adulthood and was still suffering the same, I actually find out I have stigmas in both eyes that everyone missed all these years (pupils are meant to close in a circle when reacting to light but people that have stigmas mean their pupils close like a rugby ball shape so too much light was still being let in to my eyes) and needed glasses anyway for my sight. I suffer the most when itās really sunny or when Iām in bright places and end up with such bad headaches if I donāt wear sunglasses when Iām outside. I also get the headaches from using phones or computers too much or if I donāt wear my glasses and my eyes have strained too much. I also go like this as Iām allergic to certain foods. It could be hormones, it could be food intolerance or something else. Please get it checked out just to be safe.
I get super nauseous and sick a few days before I start my monthly, it could be that. Iād just keep an eye on her and give her some Tylenol and hotpad with lots of rest.
Yes it is . I was the same way . U might need to take her for a check to see if all her hormones are good .

Could be the period but my son found out he needed glasses and that was what was causing headaches
I occasionally get them before I start my period but when I was 12 we discovered the majority of my headaches were because I needed glasses!
From experience, it sounds like hormonal migraines
It could be! Her body is still getting used to this new change. It wonāt always be this bad. Give her some midol and lots of water!
From my personal experience at 11 with my first period this is how my migraines startedā¦
Not sure on vomiting but I used to suffer terrible with headaches during period.
Hormone surge maybeā¦but get her checked out by an md to be sure and safe
Itās a possibility. My daughter did something similar to her.
Blood pressure being high or low?
Look into or talk to her PCP about abdominal migraines.
You bet! Very common. My daughter and I are this way too.
Happened to me throw up on my desk in class cases the teacher wouldnt let me go to yhe bathroom .
The vomiting may be from the headaches. Headache from period n stress etc
It could definitely be the period, I used to get really nauseous the first few days of mine and would vomit everything in my stomach. I had to be put on birth control just to maintain them, because it was like that every single month.

I was just about to ask about a period. I actually started getting sever migraines about 6mos before i ever got my first one, and continued to have them threw my teen years. Nothing aleviated mine, except dark rooms, quiet and a fan to blow.on me. My mom would put cool rags on my forhead
The Heat will do that
I have vomiting and headaches and nausea on my periodā¦
She could still be dehydrated and not feeling well. I also got migraines when i first started my cycle i had migraines, i was dizzy, painful cramps.
Check her first for covid
Yes that is pretty common
Sounds like migraines
She needs to see a doctor. My sister had the same problem and it ended up being hormonesā¦ but my middle step daughter also had the same problem and she ended up having calcium deposits behind her eyes that were causing pressureā¦
You should be talking to a DR.

Yes it very well could be. From experience I can say so. Iām much older but I still can remember that years and years ago! I took a prescription for that to help. But I have no clue what it was. Iām 59 now. It was so long ago. I would be sick in bed that time of month for a couple days! Itās horrible poor thing. Talk to your dr.
Go to dr right away. No use for her to suffer. Good luck dear.
When I was younger, I used to vomit the first day of my period. It was awful, it was like a 10 hr bug every month. That symptom only stopped after I had my son, he did something to my hormones.
Migraines. Hormonal. I had them up until I had a hysterectomy
Sounds like sheās having migraines, I almost always have nausea and/or vomiting when I get one. I suffer from chronic headaches and they are always worse before and during my period.
Maybe take her to a neurologist & find out whatever is causing this. Just a thought
Could be a number of things but I got headaches, nausea/vomiting, when I was around that age (maybe 10), was because I needed glasses. I was straining my eyes so bad it caused tension headaches which were so severe Iād get sick to my stomach. I couldnāt even eat lunch so Iād go hungry all day which only added to the headache/nausea.
It sounds like migraines. Mine started with my period. See if you can talk to her GP and get a referral to a neurologist. Theyād be able to diagnose it best. She may go through a bunch of tests; MRI, CT scan possibly with and without contrast. They do this to make sure there isnāt anything else that could be causing the headaches. If they diagnose without running tests, get a second opinion.
Not to scare you, but please consider avoiding botox treatment if itās offered. Iāve suffered so many debilitating side effects from it that are life changing. I didnāt know what Iām dealing was possible until I read the 28 page pamphlet that the dr didnāt give me. If you want more info, feel free to pm me.
My daughter started getting migraines when she got her period. Apparently for my daughter anyway her period can trigger migraines
Hormone fluctuations can cause migraines. Dehydration from all this heat weve had could be causing it. I would talk with her doctor. When i was like 19 my doctor basically scolded me for not going in for a migraine until day 3 when i couldnt take it anymore i needed 2 bags of saline and 3 doses of a injected migraine medication before i was okayed to leave.
My daughter had headaches and would also feel nauseated! Hell I have the same symptoms before I start and Iām 35, she just might have bad pms, talk with the dr about. Iāve learned a Advil and lots of water helps a warm shower will help with the nausea and headache tell her to just sit in the tub with the shower n and let the water run over her head and neck. We had to start birth control for my daughter at 13 because her pms and periods were so bad, it helped her tremendously
If sheās vomiting with the headache it could be a migraine. Thatās when mine started.
Definetley schedule a doctors appointment. Also gynecologist appointment.
Im no doctor but heres advice. Drinking more water is necessary especially while on period for younger girls. Dehydration has the symptoms you said.
Most importantly. If she is using tampons. Its extremely important she is changing it out regularly or it can have bad consequences. Nausea is the first symptom. Pads can also have a similar effect for sane reason. Even if there isnt that much blood it must be changed. Maybe using bleach free tampons or pads It cost a lotā¦ i use menstrual cups. She may be too young to use them.
Okay, I appreciate questions on this page for normal everyday advice but NOT MEDICAL questions
Please call a freaking doctor

Menstruation can cause all those symptoms, I used to be this way for many yearsā¦.I went through a study in my 20ās at The Mayo Clinic, periods and ovulation can cause migrainesā¦relief I found was Excedrin Migraine, no off brands helped me. Cool cloth over my eyes, rest in a quiet dark room.
It could cause it yes. I get that way every time I start.
However Iād definitely get into a Dr if you havenāt already just in case itās something else 
Hormones !! She may become a woman soon.
Have her tested for H Phylori . If it has caused infection then that could lead to a headache. So many people have this and doctors donāt check for it.
I bet migraines before I start my period. Itās common in alot of women.
Have her eyes checked for papilledema
Migraine are connected to the blood flow. I use to get migraines with my periods. No more periods but I sti get Migraines and Iām 56 prayers for her.
Yes mine started when I started my period and Iām 36 I still suffer with it badly
