What do you do when have head ache when you wake up?

You can rub the part that hurts and try to go back to sleep for another 15 minutes.

If it is a sinus headache due to allergies.. I get those often and often do wake up with them. I take a couple pills just for relief of sinus pain and pressure...

I take a shower.

Take two biscuits , a cup of hot coffee or tea and then take a painkiller tablet. Lie down for ten minutes.You will be okay.While taking painkillers often and on empty stomach is harmful,you can not completely avoid taking them.

Grab 2 aspirins!!!!

I always go back to sleep again hehehe!!!

If you slept infront of a/c or air cooler then it may be the side effect of that. In that case a cold is following. This my experience for the last two days. Today I have bad throat on getting up. I drank two glasses of warm water and gargled with salt water. So got relief. The quick relief for headache is taking steam. I know it is bit difficult since the climate is so hot. But it has its own advantages. Just have a try.

That isn't always pleasant. Thankfully, it doesn't happen to me often.

I massage my temples in a circular motion and my nape, sometimes an acidic stomach might be causing it.

Sometimes lying back down and putting on a cold compress on the forehead helps. In any case here is some info about waking up with a headache.

Taking a pill for headaches will work. Natural methods don't work for me personally.

This happens to me about 4-5 days a week. But it's more of an upper-headache/jaw-ache/all my teeth. Could be because I sleep at all different times, clenching my jaw in my sleep, maybe I quit breathing for a while or something, I don't know...but I just hurry up and eat a little something and then take 1/2 an Ibuprofen and it works like a charm. That 1/2 of Ibuprofen has always worked without fail, so I'm not gonna jinx it. When you wake up with a headache, it means there was some kind of tension going on in your sleep, or possibly sinus issues, or even a very dangerous symptom of (something rare) so I won't ever scare you with it. And don't overlook that it could indeed be from your jaw, esp. if the headache is in the front. The frontal lobe. Sorry, fancy-schmancy medical terms are always dancing around in my head.

I promise myself I'll never drink like that again.

Do you have any pain relievers like tylenol or Ibuprophen?

I take 2 Excedrin Migraine and it always helps me.

If it doesn't go away by eating, I take a pain reliever. Ibuprofen.

Head massage might be a help. If not goes away then may be a tablet of disprin can work

I can't advise, since I do not get headaches, but I think you would need at least eight hours sleep , especially after a hard day's work.

Going out for a walk always helps. Fresh air helps. But if I am not able to go out for walk, I take a hot shower and then a little extra nap.

I usually go back to sleep for a few minutes when my head ache.
