this started last novenber 2011.
i was told i have border line diabetes.
i am taking cholesterol pill only.
i am a very hyper personallity.
i have been to cardiologist,and blood doctor.
i do not suffer from sinusitis.
no cough.
no anaemia.
i also have a drop in blood pressure when this happens.
when this happened for the first time last nonember my husband brought me to the hospital and they did cathider to my heart and said no blockage. also cat scan of abdomin and sonogram. also a halter for a week and tilt test but they can not figure this out. it is really bad and i cant even get a job at this time because these attcks happen in early morning and some make me feel terrible all day where i have to lay down in bed.

Hello
Since you have been seen and investigated by a cardiologist,cardiac causes for your problem is ruled out.
This means that there may be some other issues like
1..Sleep apnea
2...Medication overuse headaches caused by taking frequent medications for headaches resulting in rebound headaches
3...Tension headaches which are caused by stress,anger,anxiety or depression
4...Cluster headaches
5..Migraine
6...In rare cases brain tumors can also cause early morning headache
7...There is new type of headache which has been diagnosed as NDPH ( New daily persistent headache ) .It has been described as primary headache disorder where no secondary cause for headache can be identified.
I would advise you to consult a neurologist and get examined thoroughly and get MRI brain done.
You are most welcome to ask for any other additional concern.
Best of luck
