A member asked:

Why do i wake up with a sinus headache after sleeping with a fan on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Brijesh Chandwani answered

Specializes in Orofacial Pain

Humidifier: The fan could be reducing the humidity which in turn could give you a sinus headache. Consider using a humidifier at night.
