How Do You Get Rid of a Recurring Sleep Apnea Headache?
Waking up with frequent headaches can be more than just a bad night’s sleep. For many people, recurring morning headaches are linked to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep.
Sleep apnea headaches usually appear on both sides of the head, lack nausea or light sensitivity, and fade within a few hours after waking.
Diagnosis often involves a sleep study to confirm OSA and rule out other causes such as tension headaches, medication effects, or insomnia. Treatment options vary and can include lifestyle changes, CPAP therapy, oral devices, or surgery in more complex cases.
Addressing sleep apnea doesn’t just reduce headaches, it can also improve energy, focus, and overall health.
