Feel hungover every morning (no alcohol)

Anyone got any ideas? Waking up regularly with a dry mouth, dehydrated and thumping headache, having a glass of water before bed seems to make it worse. Not a typical candidate for an OSA type problem which would potentially give those symptoms. 

I guess I'm intrigued to see if anyone has had anything similar?

    Dear Hurricane, 

    You give little background - age, weight, bmi, occupation etc. I suffer with mild OSA and sometimes (particularly in summer) with acute sinus headache (just like a bad hangover). My OSA is mild and I don't nod off in the day but sometimes when I wake I feel as if I haven't slept, even after six or seven apparently 'undisturbed' hours.

    Drool on the pillow? yeuch but we all do some. 

    What's a typical OSA candidate - apparently there are a few thin people who suffer from OSA.

    Whatever, good luck with finding a solution 

    Ask your partner if you snore/stop breathing when asleep.

      Dear Tapman,

      21 (m), about 74 kgs, 185 cm, BMI 21.6, student, non smoker, non drinker (mostly because it makes it worse), don't take anything to help me sleep, no-one has complained that I snore except for when I've had colds! (but maybe it's just not loud enough to wake them!) No evidence of nasal polyps (though apparently my turbinates were inflamed ?hayfever?. Though I can make a snoring noise with my tongue fully extended, so maybe an enlarged uvula / soft pallet going on. I don't tend to get excessive day time fatigue but it might just be that my callibration of "excessive" is all off!

      Only tend to notice dribble if I'm somewhat face down.

      based the "typical" off of the leaflet offered by this site (links cause moderation) and more specifically the epidemiology section: 

      -Obesity (strongest risk factor).

      -Male gender.

      -Middle age (55-59 in men, 60-64 in women).

      -Smoking.

      -Sedative drugs.

      -Excess alcohol consumption.

      -Possibly genetic tendency related to jaw morphology.

      Just read up a bit on sinus headaches... I do find that antihistamines do help relieve symptoms. Mhmm... thinking I might dig out that old bottle of Beconase!

      Thanks!

    Hello, I too have had this problem before I use to wake up miserable, almost as if I had not gotten enough rest but I had slept through the whole night.

    Looking back at different times, other than the headache I never had, hunger has to do with stomach. I use to be very hungry every morning. Then came accident, medications, I think they messed up my stomach. Then 8 month ago I messed it up even more. Now I can't even tell when I am hungry and can barely eat.

    I used to have a glass of water next to me for years. Really bad dry mouth, even caughing and chocking at times. Just in the last 2 months after really relaxing (or some other reason) no drinking, no drymouth. Maybe the metabolism slowed down so much it's ok without water? I also started to take Collagen with Lysine. Mayeb that?! Not sure.
