Question
Hello, It is known that on Shabbat, if a person feels unwell to the extent that their whole body is weak and they need to lie in bed, they are permitted to take medication. Is a headache, where the person feels they cannot sit and must lie down, considered such a case? Even though the rest of the body does not actually hurt due to the headache.
Answer
Hello
Such pain also permits taking medication, as it is not a localized pain, but one that weakens the entire body.
