All of my headache symptoms point to "cluster" headaches. Here is my question, I ALWAYS?
100% of the time wake up in the morning with them I have never had one come on at any other time.
I have had EVERY test known to man kind & they don't know what it is. WHAT TYPE OF HEADACHE WOULD YOU WAKE UP WITH?
Public Comments
1. what type or what cause? I had bad migrains untillI saw the chiropractor(SP) could be how your neck is when you are sleeping2. OK - bear with me here .... has your dentist ever said anything about cracked teeth or worn fillings? Is your jaw tired in the morning?
You could either be grinding your teeth at night (bruxation) or have TMJ.
I had such severe TMJ that I could hardly eat anymore because my jaw hurt too much to chew and I was constantly choking on my food. I think I had a headache for about 2 years.
So here's a couple of easy things to try. Run down to Walmart or Target or whatever and in the sporting goods section, look for a bite guard or a mouth guard. Try sleeping with that for a night or 2 and see if that helps the headaches when you wake up.
The other thing to try is a neck roll pillow. I got one at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $15 and I love it! It's short, about a foot long, and about as big around as a football. Use that as your only pillow under your neck and head, and see how that does for the headaches.
Good luck and remember that if you take a painkiller for the headaches, you can sometimes get a rebound headache from the medication. (I know, ironic, huh?)
3. I am so sorry you are in pain. Cluster headache is known for hitting you in the am. Great sites to go to is www.EverydayHealth.com. or www.MedlinePlus.com
These sites can answer all your questions and give ideals of relief such as massage after you break the cycle of your cluster headaches. I find these sites very helpful and easy to maneuver. Please give them a try I think you will be very pleased to finally be able to wake up with out your head pounding or wanting to beat it against a wall. If you need a good massage for neck and shoulders feel free to e-mail me. I may know someone in your area that can give you a helping hand.
4. The next time it happens try going on 100% pure oxygen for an hour or two. And also try getting more sleep. Hope that helps you.
5. There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, sweet fruits, COCOANUT WATER, milk, rice and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
