Suggest Treatment For Headache And Neck Pain While Sleeping
I have been purposely sleeping while sitting up and can only get an hour and a half or two hours sleep at a time. BUT my head slumps forward and I awake with a real headache and neck pain. Is there some kind of head support I can get? I have a neck brace, but that does not seem to work. Thanks

Thank you for choosing HCM
It seems that the neck pain is causing the headache in your. It is acting as a trigger factor and causing the symptoms in you. Here are a few things that you can do to confirm this and help you:
- Drink lots of water
- Ice the neck area for 15 mins
- Then heat the area with a warm water bag
- Massage the area softly with a Ibuprofen gel
Wishing you a speedy recovery. All the best.
Hope this helps you
