Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
It's possible your wife has migraine
Whether supplementation of these vitamins alone prevents future recurrence is questionable
If the headache frequency is more than 15 times / month or disrupting the quality of life she requires prophylaxis to prevent further episode

No ,you don't get headache due to such deficiencies! What I mean is they are not directly associated with it ,rather you should consult a doctor if it's there or frequently arrives for more than a week !

Yes. You can get a headache due to the deficiency of all the three tests.
So take vitamin B12, Iron and magnesium.

Borderline ferritin alone is an unlikely cause of headache.Any type of headache lasting for a few days should be evaluated by visiting a physician initially,if required by a neurologist later

Yes, borderline vitamin B12, iron (low ferritin), and magnesium deficiencies can contribute to headaches, along with fatigue, dizziness, and muscle aches. However, persistent or severe headaches should be evaluated to rule out other causes. Continue deficiency correction as advised and consult your physician if symptoms persist or worsen

Yes, absolutely â headaches are a very well-recognized symptom of all three deficiencies your wife has. Low Magnesium in particular is one of the most studied causes of headaches and migraines â magnesium deficiency causes blood vessels to constrict and affects brain neurotransmitters, both of which trigger head pain. Magnesium supplementation is even used medically as a preventive treatment for migraines. Low iron (ferritin) causes reduced oxygen supply to the brain, which directly causes headaches even before full anemia develops. And low Vitamin B12 affects the nervous system and can cause persistent dull headaches or migraine-like symptoms. So the headaches your wife is experiencing are very likely a direct result of these three borderline deficiencies together.
Next Steps
Get her started on appropriate supplementation as prescribed by her doctor â correcting these deficiencies should also help the headaches. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
