Headache when I wake up

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have been having a headache when i wake up but when i sit up and stand up it eventually goes away. The headache is pretty bad to the point where it makes me get up. The pain is usually the back of my head and my forehead. When i lay down to go to sleep i can feel my head starting to hurt. Has anyone else has had these symptoms before? Thanks

    Hello.

    Yes I get the same headaches mostly early mornings around 5am.

    My GP found mine is caused by elevated Blood pressure.

    I am a non dipper which means my BP stays up at night and spiking in the early hours this gives me the same pain as yours though worse if I have a bad dream.

    I now take my BP medication at night and it has improved thank goodness as it was scary.

    Best wishes
