@gej95014 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds like you are seeking proper care for your nocturnal hypnic headaches but you are still unsure why you are having the headaches and how to treat them. Did I get that right?

As a new member there is a waiting period before you post a link. We do this to protect members from unwanted spammers. I know it is frustrating. You can post a new discussion without links.

May I ask what question you want to post to the group?

There appears to be a mix-up. I did not post to this thread. It seems to be a male person who did.

Yes you have it right. My family practitioner has finally referred me to a neurologist for a video visit today at 4pm. We'll see. This is the question: how do I discover what is causing the hypnic migraines? Treatment can be a good thing; but, seeking the root cause so I can work on that is IMHO a good direction. Medications to date aren't helping. In fact IMHO they have made the situation worse. They've put me on anti-depressants (Zoloft first, then Lexapro. Both made it worse), What are others' taking that helps? That is the question to the group. To me; discovering the cause and working on that is the priority. Was it something I did? Something I'm doing? Something I'm taking? Something I took in the past?
