People suggest to me to lay down and rest to get rid of a simple headache, so I do, then fall asleep and sleep for almost 2 hours, only to awaken with that same headache. Why wont headaches go away after a person sleeps then wakes up? Does this happen to anyone else, where you sleep to get rid of a headache, only to wake up to the same one?

i have this problem too. i get major headache after a nap.
Ali, I'm pretty sure the headaches are cluster headaches or tension headaches. Some happen as cluster, sometimes happen as tension. And I wake up and the headache is piercing at times. Other times it is the same headache I fell asleep with. I am on high blood pressure meds and my blood pressure remains stable on those. But i will try sleeping with my head elevated next time. Thank you for the advice!

Thank you so much for the offer Ali, but right now I don't think I need them. If I do in the future I'll keep this in the back of my mind and make sure to ask you though. Thank you,
Melissa.
Thank you very much!

Yes, I know the feeling. A good trick for when you have a headache is to place your thumbs in the dimples just behind the top of your ears and massage them for 2-3 minutes.
Mathgirl, thank you--I do do that but maybe I havent been doing it for enough time (meaning I did it for maybe 20 seconds)
