I take naps to reduce headaches. sometimesit works but other times it just make the pain worse. what would be the cause of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Head aches common: Headaches are part of so many disorders, it's hard to say what is causing it. High blood pressure, vision issues, sinus problems, allergies, ear issues, lack of sleep, stress and migraines are some of the issues that come to mind, a thorough evaluation by pcp would be a start.
