Dr. David Martin answered

Specializes in ENT - Head & Neck Surgery

Morning headache: Waking up with a headache is most commonly seen with obstructive sleep apnea and sinusitis. With the fatigue, i lean towards sleep apnea. Do you snore and hold your breath when you sleep? This would also suggest sleep apnea.
