Q: i have headache, it wakes me from sleep and the pain increases when standing up and when i open my eyes lights are to bright?

: Potentially you are describing a migraine, but the postural component could raise question of spinal fluid leak. You do not provide sufficient information to pinpoint further, so, do recommend you contact you local doctor and get an evaluation. You might also consider a virtual consult on the paid portion of HT.
