Hello.

You could be having the headaches due to blood pressure changes when you stand up from sitting or lying down position. Has your blood pressure been checked ?

New research has shown that headaches can come due to photosensitivity (sensitivity to light). And Magnesium deficiency has been associated. Please consult a neurologist and discuss these issues. You can start on a magnesium therapy.

Sure wish I had some advise for you, but I have had these painful headaches now for 5-6 weeks and can't seem to shake them myself.  Just had a CT Scan of my head. . .haven't heard the results yet.  I have primary sensory polyneuropathy, and moderate lumbar spodylosis.  My spine hurts alot, along with all the neuropathic pain. I hope the headaches are related to one of the disorders.  I just want them to go away.  I have enough on my plate as it is.  For the most part, mine are dull and throbbing, only sharp pain at the back of the head if I laugh too much (go figure).  

I hope we both can get to the bottom of our headaches.  Good luck to you.

Blessings -
