Anyone else have this problem? It's been happening for about a week now. I drink water and take some headache medicine and it goes away, but I just don't understand the feeling?

what headache medicine? Does it have caffeine?0

A week is pretty extreme to have an all day type headache.......especially when waking up with one. Go and see a doctor.......it might just be migrains or it might be something else, you never know.
With me, I wake with headaches sometimes and usually its lack of hydration........whether it be that I woke up after a night of drinking maybe one to three drinks.........red wine, if I drink it too fast, will give me a headache in the mornings.0 -
just ibuprofen, nothing crazy. i do sometimes get a headache if i dont have caffeine, but this is different. it feels like a hangover.0
-
it doesnt last all day, just a few hours when i get up. i'm probably dehydrated.0
-
Do you have light sensitivity and a sensitivity to noise? If so, I think that's one of the symptoms of a migraine..........0
-
You could be dehydrated.
How many hours do you sleep, though?
I know I feel the same if I sleep way too much or way too little.0 -

That's good at least..........but honestly, if its happened for over a week and you say you've been drinking water, you are doing the right thing........but if you are drinking a lot of water through the day every day and it doesn't seem to do anything........I don't think its dehydration........0 -

Good point..........I forgot about this one as well.........if I sleep over my eight hours, I TOTALLY wake up with a headache and I most likely will have it all day..........and so my body screams for caffiene!0 -

I've suffered from this for years. I call them my "sleep-hangovers". My friends know better than to get me up earlier than necessary because I want to throw up, have bad headaches, am achy all over and am ridiculously irritable. I found it goes away sometimes if I take 3-6mg of melatonin before bed, but I still get the headaches. I used to bring chocolate milk and ibuprofen with me to work when I worked first shift so I wouldn't feel hung over/throw up. The only way it goes away is if I get like, three hours of sleep and don't even make it to the deeper stages of sleep, or if I get a solid 10.5-11 hours, which is almost never possible.0

in my experience:
it could be blood pressure. I have hypertension and when it was out of control I'd wake up hating life. I felt horrible with a pounding head.
Dehydration, that'll do it too.
Also, and I'm afraid to mention this one, since being off grains/processed foods if I have a slice of pizza or something before bed I wake up feeling like I just woke up from a bender!0 -
Alcohol dehydrates, so it's probably that. Try drinking the water alone.0
-
Yes, but only when I eat dairy. And not just dairy, but a certain amount / type of dairy. My entire family (mother, grandparents, etc.) have issues with dairy.
If I eat anything with any amount of heavy cream or more than a teaspoon of butter, I wake up the next day with a headache, fatigue and upset stomach.
Have you been eating anything new or different recently? I also second the suggestion that you might be dehydrated. That's where most of the alcohol hangover symptoms come from.
Best of luck!0 -
My guess would be dehydration. I've woken up hungover because I did Bikram yoga the night before (lots and lots of sweating) and didn't drink enough water before going to bed.0
-
you should consider going to the doctor for labs tests to be evaluated-this sounds very serious ...anything can be running amuck & you body is telling you something, as mildly as people feel about hang overs they still are having a hang over from a degree of alcohol poisoning & depletion of minerals ect. I think you seek medical attention0

Is there a reason why you would be dehydrated every day? If you suspect dehydration, drink a large glass of water just before bed and keep a glass/bottle of water on your nightstand.
When you sleep, do you sleep well? Fall asleep easily and sleep uninterupted? If this continues you really consult a doctor as it could be a symptom of many things.0 -
That's how I know I'm pregnant.
Ditto^...of course it was many moons ago. But exactly how I felt.0 -
It could be low blood sugar. It could be sleep apnea. It could be nothing. It could be something serious. I'd definitely see a doctor if it continues.0
-
This now happens to me when I have a "Sugar Hangover" If I slip up and eat to much sugar or sugar right before bed, I wake up totally headachey, nauseous, and tired. I take lots of water and I also take shots of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Most say this doesn't do anything, but if it tricks me into feeling better, WHO CARES?0
-
How's your salt/sodium intake in the evening?
JM0 -
This happens to me if I had a lot of sugar the day before.0
-
This happens to me if I'm dehydrated. If I didn't drink much water or had a high sodium day the day before, I wake feeling kinda like that.0
-
hangovers are just the early stages of dehydration, drink more waterz:)0
-
I do to when I take anxiety meds or sleeping pills0

Are you sure it's not a migraine? I get migraines that last a week and it could be confused with a hangover. I feel nauseous, headache (migraine), tired, etc.
EDIT: Even when I get rid of the migraine pain from medication I feel the other symptoms until I take the medication that targets them as well.0 -
how much water are you drinking?0
-
As soon as I get some $$ I will go to the doctor, haha. I have a new insurance plan that comes with a deductible, and it is expensive just for a regular office visit!
Thanks for all the advice, I even feel better now after drinking some water. I'm freaking out because a guy I work with is having brain surgery today for tumors they found. He's my age, so that's on my mind too.
God I hope I'm not pregnant! haha. I'm not though...I hope..can't be yet...ahhhhhh
P.S.---I did almost just throw up in my sink for no reason. Now you've all got the hypocondriac in me revved up! haha0 -
You may be releasing toxins into the blood stream as the fat dissolves while you diet as well as being dehydrated. I drink one Vita Coco water a day and it completely takes care of my dehydration issues which were getting so bad my feet would painfully spasm. I didn't like the taste at first so I watered it down but I can't recommend it enough!
Can someone please tell me how to start a new thread on here? Don't see it! Thanks0 -
