Default Laying down makes the headaches worse?
Something ive noticed lately. When I lay down, say for bed, or on the couch to watch TV, if im flat, the headaches come instantly.

For example, I wake up multiple times every night with just unreal pounding stabbing headaches. Weird, but Ive been noticing just laying down actually brings these on almost instantly.

Whats up with that? Any sort of ideas?

I have the same thing when I lay on my right side... it feels like a "pooling" effect... at least with me... I have brought it up and am told that it is probably fluid..
