For 30 years I have suffered from headaches when I wake up. Upon awakening I would realize my temples were tense and throbbing or realize there was a stabbing pain in my eyes. Frequently these morning headaches would result in a migraine headache. Sometimes they would disappear after an hour or two but I knew the next morning it would happen all over again. I have had MRIs, CAT scans, neurological workups and many different medications. None had made any long term changes. After talking with Dr. Rice she suggested the tension in my temple and the pain in my eye could be related to my grinding my teeth at night.
