A member asked:
I found that lately if i fall asleep and wake back up i get a headache that just lasts a couple minutes and a fast heartbeat. what could that be?

See below: It may be symptoms of sleep apnea. Do you gasp or choke for breath periodically at night, have daytime sleepiness, dry mouth, or night time acid reflux? Then those may be symptoms of sleep apnea. A visit to a sleep physician may help in discerning if that is the case. Hope that helps!
