Hi!
You could be suffering from are suffering from ‘benign intracranial hypertension’(BIH). This happens due to impaired CSF absorption. A generalized throbbing headache worst felt in the morning and last thing at night. This headache is generally relieved on standing (consistent with raised intracranial pressure). It is aggravated by straining, coughing or a change in position (so exercise can worsen it).
You can get up with a headache and nausea if you have a bad gastric reflux, or suffer from an inflammatory bowel condition such as celiac, Crohn’s, IBS etc. Raise head end of bed. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, carbonated drinks and spicy food. The other possibility of a morning headache with nausea is pinched cervical spinal nerves.
Poor sleep patterns like sleep apnea, restless sleep can trigger a headache in the mornings. Sinusitis is another cause of morning headaches. It could also be cluster headache, migraine, or tension headache.
Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
