Heaviness In Head After Waking Up, While Bending. How To Cure?
Hello Doctor
As soon as I wake up headache (heaviness in the head) starts. Later in the evening it is alright and I am able to sleep well thanks to God. But the heaviness in my head is acute when I bend. I am a muslim and when I do namaz I feel very difficult to bow down on the ground as I feel a heavy load being kept on my head. I would request your help and guidance on this. Thank you. - Rafiulla Khan

Thanks for writing to health care magic!
I have gone through your question and see that you have a complain of heaviness in head which is mainly in morning hours, increase while bending the head down, and during Namaz time, and gets better with evening.
I think you have not got yourself investigated as there are no reports mentioned in the question.
Had I been your doctor I would ask you to get an X Ray neck in AP and Lateral view, because your symptoms resemble cervical spondylosis.
Till that time, I think you should:
- avoid bending your neck
- avoid sudden jerky neck movements
-use a thin pillow while sleeping
- if you sleep on a soft and fat mattress, switch to a normal and thinner one.
This will give rest to your neck muscles during night and reduce heaviness.
Hope the answer helps you to get relief from this heaviness.
Feel free to ask more questions regarding health.
