Answer:

Defect of medium-chain coenzyme A dehydrogenase

Medium-chain coenzyme A dehydrogenase is a very important enzyme in the process of fatty acid oxidation. This process is used to provide energy when the glucose reserves have been depleted, however, this process is impossible in the absence of coenzyme A dehydrogenase.

Where would you first put a chief compliant of headache and associated symptoms of nausea and vomiting?
meriva

We should get medical help right now. If: our nausea and vomiting are accompanied by discomfort or a severe headache, particularly if we have never experienced this kind of headache before, and asking someone to transport us to an urgent care facility or an emergency room.

When to go to consult?

Pain or a strong headache can accompany nausea and vomiting, especially if we've never experienced this kind of headache before.

We exhibit indicators of dehydration, such as extreme thirst, sore throat, infrequent urination, dark urine, lethargy, dizziness, or lightheadedness upon standing.

While we're waiting for our doctor's appointment, should be taken care of ourselves:

  1. Breathe easily. A lack of sleep and excessive exercise might exacerbate nausea and vomiting.
  2. Remain hydrated: Drink cold, clear, carbonated, or tart beverages in little sips.
  3. Avoid noxious smells.
