Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Med eval.: Do you snore? Are you noted to stop breathing in the middle of the night? Are you depressed? Don't know your health status. Waking up at this time daily with a headache is not normal and warrants medical assessment. Once the cause is determined then a plan of attack can be developed.
