Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov on the most important “on the channel” Russia 1 “talked about why headaches can occur in the morning. The issue, in which he named the causes of this problem, was published on YouTube.
“You just wake up with a headache – this suggests that this is a tension headache,” the doctor explained. According to Myasnikov, in such cases, you need to pay attention to the position of the neck during sleep. An incorrect or uncomfortable posture during the night can lead to headaches in the morning, the specialist said.
Myasnikov noted that the cause of the headache can also be a violation of breathing during sleep. “When a person sleeps, especially on his back, he snores, and then once – he stops talking, then a terrible snore, and again. This silence is when the soft palate blocks the entrance to the respiratory tract for a split second and causes hypoxia, “the doctor explained.
