Why does this happen? please help

I have been getting really bad migraines for the past two years.Sometimes ill be doing nothing and one just starts up,but most of the time they happen when i wake up.I dont usaully have migraines during the middle of the night, i just wake up with one.When i have a really bad migraine i feel out-of-it kind of.My eyes start to 'see' things in a different way and my hands or feet sometimes go numb,and of course my head feels horrible.Most of the time ill catch the migraines before they get too bad.I take Excedrin for the migraines but sometimes thats not enough i guess. Im really not sure whats wrong?

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
Poor sleep patterns like sleep apnea, restless sleep can trigger a headache in the mornings. You could also be having ‘benign intracranial hypertension’ (BIH). This happens due to impaired CSF absorption. A generalized throbbing headache worst felt in the morning and last thing at night. This headache is generally relieved on standing (consistent with raised intracranial pressure). It is aggravated by straining, coughing or a change in position. Sinusitis is another cause of morning headaches. It could also be cluster headache, migraine, or tension headache. Please consult a neurologist.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
