Suggest Treatment For Sleep Apnea, Headache And Neck Pain
Hi I have been waking up with a headache and my neck became sore on one side over a week. It has suddenly moved to the other side of my neck now. I do have mild sleep apnea and have been snoring a lot and grinding my teeth dreadfully. My jaw aches in the morning.
Hi i do care for your concern. your history suggest more of muscle pull, due to sleeping in wrong positions. taking pain killers will suffice and will resolve in a week or so. Regarding grinding of teeth i would advise to consult a dentist, and mouth guards are available that will prevent grinding. Regarding sleep apnoea its advisable of weight reduction, regular exercise, avoiding of caffeine and aerated drinks will help a lot. Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Thank you.
