Pressure question

My daughter says she laid down and when she had the left side of her head on the bed her right side would hurt and vice versa. Does anyone know why this would happen?

The ns wants us to have a sleep study done which will be in a few weeks and then she will see us. I am keeping track of all her headaches and I put this in my notes.

Has your DD had surgery?  What helps me to sleep is I found a U  shaped cushion at walmart and it only cost me less than 10.00.  This might help your DD to get her head more comfortable.  It takes pressure off the neck and this might help her.  Hope she can get some rest.
