I’ve been waking in the mornings more and more with a dull headache. It usually improves as the day goes on. I know that can be a sign of CO2 retention, but I don’t feel short of breath and my most recent FVC was 75%. I do sleep lying flat, and it feels comfortable.
I’ve also considered the possibilities that I could be clenching my jaws or having tightness of neck muscles, or that it could even be a slight allergy to my dog who sleeps in the bedroom. My dentist didn’t see signs of tooth grinding at my last exam.
I don’t sleep that great after about 4-5 AM, so perhaps sleep deprivation is also contributing.
Just curious what people here think about the headaches, especially if they could be respiratory in origin.
