I've had a miserable h/a since waking from a dream. It's not the first time it's happened; I guess I'm just fed up!!
Does anyone know why this happens?? Thanks, Sue |

I have the exact same problem and I wish I knew what caused it. I usually keep that headache all day too. Also when I dream my body temp increases and I wake up sweating pretty heavy. Like you WTF?

Hi Robyn,
Thanks for the reply. I just woke up with one, and I noticed I was dreaming right before - again! That's usually the case; I wonder if there's a connection? Hmmmm. Take care, Sue |

I started having headaches similar to what you describe during the 2-3 nights before the start of my period. I would wake at almost 4 on the dot with an awful headache that would linger all day. Sometimes I would vomit but most times just nauseated and achy. I thought it was coffee withdrawal, or medication related, or even allergies. But it persisted and I finally noticed the pattern. When I mentioned it to my dr she says peri-menopause. UGGG!! I am seeing a dr who treats with bio-identical hormones tomorrow and pray for good results.

Hi ciarichic,
A few years ago I went to a neurologist who specialized in headaches. I kept a headache diary for a few months, and it was determined they were hormonal in nature. I'm 50 and knee deep in peri-menopause; I have a history of a stroke so I can't do any type of hormone therapy. It's exercise and extra B vitamins for me. (The B's have helped me with hot flashes; as long as I'm taking them regularly I don't get them at all!!) I noticed your nickname; do you have a chiari malformation?? (My cousin does, and was diagnosed after she got fed up with her morning headaches.) Take care!! Sue |

Hi, I to am knee deep in perimenopause. I was already on Neurontin for Trigeminal neuralgia and it is also used off label for hot flashes so I haven't had those. The waking up at 4am? Oh yeah I am so there!!!!! It is just awful it ruins my whole day! My gyno put me on birth control pills and it has helped with the sleeping some. I still have to take 2 benadryl and an xanax to sleep at nite. You would think that would keep me down and out but nope! My headaches start in the late morning right before I wake up for the second time, that's when I do my dreaming so I wake up then with my headache and sweating from my dream. If I don't dream then everything is great. Just don't get it.
