Waking up with migraines everyday
I wake up almost everyday with a migraine. That’s when they usually start and not a different time of day. I’m very careful with what I eat. No sugar or chocolate before bed and not usually during day. Anyone else experience this? I have no idea why this happens!
Hi
Thank you for brining this up to our community. I can tell you you're not alone in experiencing this. I hear how frustrating and exhausting it is to wake with migraine pain every day.One of the first things that comes to mind is talking to your healthcare provider about having a sleep study and here's why. Many times when we wake with migraine pain it may be an indication of a sleep issue, of which there are many. Sleep issues can be strong migraine attack triggers. Sleep apnea, restless leg, periodic limb movement disorder are just a few that come to mind. I have restless leg and periodic limb movement disorder both contributed to morning migraine for me. I can share our information on this and in turn you can share with your doctor; https://migraine.com/search?s=sleep%20study
