I Wake Up Every Morning With A Headache And In Chronic Pain
Ever wake up in the morning with a headache that will not go away; wondering if you slept wrong or what you did wrong to deserve this headache? Every morning you start looking for aspirin or some medicine to take and wonder if you were ever going to get rid of this headache.
Sometimes I wonder if I drank enough water; so I drink lots of water before bed and get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. A full bladder interrupts my sleep. Medical doctors don’t really know what’s wrong.
Headaches can be the result of over the counter medications.
Over-the-counter pain medications work well when used occasionally.
But did you know that most of them produce a headache and cause an escalation of the headache symptoms when used frequently?
As an example, an intermittent headache can be turned into a chronic daily headache just by taking three aspirin or pain medications 2-3 times per week.
This means that headache sufferers who give up daily painkillers may actually feel better, not worse. As an added bonus, when people are no longer taking the daily painkillers, then preventive medications will work much better too.
Going painkiller drug free to cure my headaches.
The irony of taking painkillers to stop my headaches, yet these very same drugs were causing or partially causing my chronic morning headaches. I’ll try going drug-free.
So now I’m in a dilemma; taking medicine causes my headaches to get worse; stop taking the medicine I feel better yet I still have headaches.
Maybe my chronic morning headache is from sleeping with the wrong pillow?
What’s frustrating to me is that I’ve tried every shape, size, soft, hard, or contoured pillow known to man and I still suffer from chronic morning headaches. I was sure it was the way I was sleeping or the position I slept in that was the cause of my headaches, I was wrong.
I thought that if I slept with a pillow under my legs it would help. I kept struggling for a good position to sleep in that would result in no more headaches in the morning. These headaches just would not go away.
Chiropractic care had finally relieved my chronic morning headaches!! My chiropractor made some simple adjustments.
I should of started with chiropractic care, it would have saved me allot of pain. I had a pinched nerve from what’s known as a subluxation (vertebra out of place); you know the thing your spinal cord goes through and the nerves protrude from. I guess the stress of everyday life causes the spine to subluxate, at least that’s what the x-ray showed. The chiropractor relieved my chronic headaches.
After getting adjusted three times a week for about eight weeks I could see a significant amount of relief. I notice my energy level was much better and that I was sleeping very well. I had finally found relief from my chronic morning headaches.
