I'm feeling like my head's really heavy almost all the time, and it just gets worse after I eat. My blood pressure's at 150 over 90. Could you suggest any medication for this?

Delayed periods after chickenpox can be concerning. Given your regular diet and no other apparent issues, let's explore possible reasons:

Possible Causes

1. Hormonal imbalance: Chickenpox can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods.
2. Stress and infection: The physical stress of fighting off the chickenpox virus can affect your menstrual cycle.
3. Temporary amenorrhea: Some women experience temporary amenorrhea (absence of periods) after a viral infection like chickenpox.

What to Expect

1. Wait for another week: If you've already missed your period by a week, wait for another week to see if your period starts naturally.
2. Take a pregnancy test: If you've had unprotected sex, take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause for the delayed period.
3. Consult a gynecologist: If your period doesn't start after another week or if you experience heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or other concerning symptoms, consult a gynecologist for guidance.

Self-Care

1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from the infection.
2. Maintain a balanced diet: Continue eating a nutritious diet to support your overall health.
3. Manage stress: Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises
