We examined a rare case involving a 13-year-old girl who experienced symptoms of headache and visual disturbances due to benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) related to vitamin A toxicity. This condition was characterized by elevated pressure inside her skull, which led to her experiencing severe headaches, photophobia, and vomiting.
After conducting various tests, including magnetic resonance imaging and a lumbar puncture, we confirmed the diagnosis of BIH. Treatment was initiated with acetazolamide, a medication commonly used to reduce intracranial pressure. Although the study primarily focuses on the condition resulting from vitamin A excess, the use of acetazolamide makes it challenging to isolate the effect of vitamin A on headache relief specifically.
What's particularly noteworthy in this case is the significant elevation of serum vitamin A levels, which aligned with her symptoms. Following treatment, this patient showed a remarkable clinical improvement, including a reduction in papilledema during regular eye check-ups. Within just two weeks after starting treatment, she was discharged symptom-free, highlighting how important it is to consider vitamin A levels in children presenting with similar symptoms.
This case serves as a reminder for clinicians regarding the potential consequences of vitamin A toxicity, especially when evaluating children with headaches correlated to papilledema.

Vitamin A shows potential for headaches
We explored a fascinating case of a 36-year-old woman suffering from persistent orthostatic headaches after suffering a seizure. Despite numerous conventional treatments, including five epidural blood patches, she showed little improvement. However, we noticed marked progress when she began vitamin A supplementation.
This case aligns with a discussion of similar cases, where most patients experienced prolonged symptoms without relief. It suggests a link between vitamin A and headache relief, indicating that the underlying issues causing orthostatic headaches may not solely stem from intracranial hypotension. This opens doors for further research into non-traditional treatments.

We explored a rare condition called orthostatic headache, which lacks evidence of low cerebrospinal fluid pressure. A case followed since 2013 showed that vitamin A supplementation led to some improvement, though it was halted due to side effects from a liver injury in 2017. This patient's headaches then became chronic, requiring alternative treatments. Despite some relief with nerve blocks and medication, the prognosis remains largely unfavorable for many with this condition.

Effective for headaches
9 people found this helpful
I purchased this supplement for my eyes and skin, and it also appears effective for my daily headaches. I find it alleviates headaches stemming from neck stiffness and eye strain. I take one tablet a day and have experienced no side effects, so I plan to continue my regimen.

Dry eyes relieved

The difference in my eye care is astounding! I rarely write reviews, but this product truly deserves acclaim. I initially sought relief for dry eyes, which often led to headaches from prolonged computer use. Since taking this supplement alongside omega-3, I've significantly reduced my need for eye drops, and the headaches have completely ceased. I will definitely continue using this product!

Headaches resolved
Good composition, fast delivery, and high-quality packaging. The capsules are slightly large but easy to swallow, with a pleasant citrus taste. I've been taking it for 10 days, and I've noticed marked improvements: my energy has increased, headaches have ceased, and my mood remains excellent. I recommend it, especially for those interested in fitness or adhering to diets.

Mild headaches possible
I bought this to tackle severe acne, knowing Vitamin A can enhance skin health. Initially concerned about headaches from the ingredients, I chose to take it every two days. Unfortunately, I do seem to experience mild headaches occasionally. However, I feel an improvement post-consumption, so I might transition to once every three days, and I find the capsules convenient and tasteless.

Dosage caution

Be cautious not to take too much vitamin A. The quality is high, but I accidentally took too much, resulting in a headache and dry lips. This isn't a fault of the product, as it clearly shows the product's effectiveness.
