Question: I've been waking up with a lot of headaches, neck & shoulder aches lately, what can help!?
For a while, I slept on top of several pillows!. I realized that could be a problem!. So I quit!. I started sleeping on a flat pillow (I can't see being able to tolerate sleeping on no pillow at all)!. It did stop for a while!. But recently, it's started again!. Every morning I will wake up with my shoulders (esp one side) & my neck, killing me!. Some mornings I wake w/a BAD headache!. So bad I've missed work a few times!. I'm under a lot of stress & worry a lot!. That could be a factor!. But in case the way I'm sleeping may be causing this, I wanted to see what I can try, that may possibly help the way my neck & head are supported while I sleep!. Thanx!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I suffer from migraines and am currently taking amptytriptyline for migraines!. you should schedule an appointment with your regular physician and ask for a refferal to a neurologist!. A neurologist can do some tests to determine the cause of your headaches!. If you want a home remedy eating a small amount of chocolate normally helps or drink some caffinated soda!. your body naturally consumes everything you eat it may be that your body is not getting enough of what it needs!. try some chocolate, caffiene or for immediate relief use a washcloth that has been dipped in hot water and place it on your forehead or you can use a heating pack and place it on your forehead or on the back of your neck where most of your pressure points are located it shold soothe the pain!. for other ideas you can also check out www!.md!.com it has alot of medical information and answers!.
