Why do I have a pounding headache when I wake up?!
Question:
Why do I have a pounding headache when I wake up?
Every morning when I wake up I have a pounding headache on both sides. What causes it? Is it a sign of poor sleep?
Answers:
Yeah, I'd say it sounds like dehydration, perhaps caused by one of two things (or both)...
1. You're not drinking enough water throughout the day
or
2. You're drinking too much coffee / tea (not herbal tea - I mean the stuff English people drink in vast quantities which contains caffeine).
Try changing those 2 things and see what happens. Be warned though - if you are a heavy caffeine drinker, don't completely stop drinking it immediately or else the head aches will get much worse before disappearing - it's best to ease yourself off it over a week or so.
Hope this helps
