Waking up with headache

Anyone suffer from these? They started about 6 months ago - probably twice a week I wake with a quite painful headache. Strangely they often disappear by the time I have had a shower and eaten breakfast. Sometimes I need to take paracetamol. I’ve tried various pillows as I do have a couple of bulging discs in my neck which I thought could be the cause. However this morning the headache was on a different level. I took paracetamol and actually sat with my phone ready to dial 999 if I experienced any further symptoms it was that bad!! I know the time has come to contact my GP but just wondered if anyone suffers the same?

I thought I woke up with a headache was the fact I have low blood pressure. I drink an energy drink and the headache goes away.

This has been happening to me for the past few months even though I rarely get headaches normally. If you're of a spiritual nature, you will know that the earth is moving from 3rd dimension through to 4th and 5th. The earths Schumann resonance (which some refer to a the earths 'heartbeat') is very active at the moment. One of the things said to help is getting your shoes off and walking on grass/ground in bare feet so you become grounded.

There are a lot of sensible comments on here. However, have you seen an optician recently. It may be worth mentioning these headaches to your optician because it could be a symptom of glaucoma.

I thought I woke up with a headache was the fact I have low blood pressure. I drink an energy drink and the headache goes away.

Which probably indicates low blood sugar, rather than anything else.

Marjorie energy drinks are full of sugar, I would have your blood sugar checked

You may have sleep apnea, which causes morning headaches. See doctor, ask for sleep study. Good luck!
