What would cause my headache to actually get worse when i lay down? it's also keeping me awake...

If all your tests : Are negative, your headache is either from muscle strain/tension or arthritis in your neck spine possibly causing pinched nerve. Also check your blood pressure (normally below 130/85). God bless u!
