Help! Wake up with headaches almost every winter when heat is on?

Question

I dread as it become winter because as soon as I turn the heat on I start waking every morning with a headache. Any ideas on what to do. I don't really want to take medication if I don't have too.

Answer 1

Heat dries out my sinuses in the winter but not so much that it gives me headaches. Try using a humidifier in your bedroom. Or, depending on what type of heating system you have, try putting a big pan of water near the heat source to add moisture to the air. Keep the bedroom door closed to keep the moist air inside.

Answer 2

Your sinuses are probably drying out. If you own your own home and have forced hot air heat put a humidifier on your heating system. If not, try using a humidifier in your bedroom. At the very least, have glass of water before going to bed.
