If you believe it's a sinus deal you could possibly have a deviated septum and bone spur combo. Could be a food allergy like soy ,msg or chocolate. Btw those maxalt's will cause rebound migraines.

I really appreciate yalls comments. At least lets me know my thinking is probably on the right track. Ive been working the past week on some diet changes to hopefully help the blood pressure issue but I really dont think its causing my headache, I could be wrong but its just how I feel. But the thought and conversation about what im going through has caused me to notice several other things that need my attention going forward. I guess I just stay so busy with life that I havent been paying attention to myself until something started hurting. Now its time to do some work on me. Thank yall for your help.

Have you cut out caffeine all the sudden on your new diet?

If sleep apnea, your body is starved of O2 and CO2 builds up in your blood and can cause headaches. Took me 8 years to be able to use the mask, which was beyond terrible. I’m the exception to the rule though. Most feel like a new person on day 1 with a CPAP. I’m curious if another treatment is out there, but so far everything has been a gimmick. I sleep like a baby with the CPAP now though.

Don't worry about the mask. You'll get use to it. I've been on a CPAP for over 15 years. IMO if there was a non-CPAP device that worked, CPAP's would be obsolete.

See a doc. Buy older age whiskey. One of'em should fix it.

Have not cut out caffeine all together but I quit the mtn dews again. I drink tea at home but my wife cut the sugar in half. Trying to stay off the soft drinks unless we go out to eat. Im not going to extremes here. My diet was not terrible to begin with, just needed tweaking a little.

I have severe sleep apnea and can't even take a nap without my machine.

I don't use a mask, but I do use a tube that goes under my nose and it doesn't bother me at all. It's a Phillips Dreamware nasal.

Joe my co2 level was 28, which is in the normal range but in the higher 1/3 of normal. What would that mean as far as sleep apnea? Would that be an indication that I may not have it? Does a person with sleep apnea always or usually have high co2 levels. If it matters, I had this blood work done in the evening, would it be different if done first thing in the morning for a person with sleep apnea?

I don’t know. Even if your headaches are from something else, a sleepy study would be ideal if insurance will pay. Hard for everything else to be right if the body can’t rest.

Do you snore at night? If so, you probably have sleep apnea...to diagnose, you need a sleep study...I would bring these things up to your doctor. I wouldn’t focus on the CO2 retention or lab values...let the sleep study diagnose...your headaches seem to be multifactorial with all the changes going on such as new diet, hypertension, possible sleep apnea...I would work hand in hand with your doctor but #1 way to help yourself is lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise which could have significant effects to your overall health

Higher end cbd oil may help? First bottle i got did. Idk if it was just snake oil and my brain thought it helped or not, but the first bottle i used seemed to work. Next bottle, not so much.
