Just wondering if anyone else has headaches that are kind of low grade thru the day but then when you lay down at night they become much worse - once I lay down i feel like my head is going to explode and I have a very hard time falling asleep. Last night it took me almost 2 hrs to fall asleep. When I woke up this morning the headache was still there. This has been going on for 5 days now. I have worried about a brain tumour before but it's been a couple of of years - actually the last time that I journaled about it was 10 yrs ago.
What else could cause headaches that get worse at night besides a bt? why would I have a headache for so many days in a row? I don't typically get headaches so this is why I am so alarmed. My husband asked me today what the other symptoms are of a tumour. I told him. He asked me if I had any of these symptoms. I told him that I don't. But i am so worried that all of sudden I am going to slur my speech, or drop something, or feel a numbness somewhere or have a seizure.
The other thing i have had for while is being startled awake by something right when I fall asleep. This can happen 5-6 times before I finally fall asleep for the night. It seems like it is kind of like the brain zaps that people have on Paxil and similar drugs but I am not taking anything.
I do have a few clonazepam on hand and will try to take one of these tonight to see if that helps with falling asleep.
Also, over the counter meds like advil have done nothing for this pain.
any comments would be appreciated.
