What Causes Headache On The Top And Sides While Lying Down?
When I lay down at night, there are times when my heads hurts as if it is caused by the way my hair lays. The sides and the top of my scalp are the worse. The pain will not subside with ordinary Tylenol or similar, sometimes not even with Hydrocodone. Any ideas?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a migraine. I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.
If the symptoms continue you should see a neurologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
