What does sleep apnea feel like when waking up? Painful?

You don't mention whether or not you're on a cpap or a bi-pap.

With or without treatment I've never had pain on awakening. Mine is more feeling "shaggy," headachy, and brain foggy.

If you've not had a sleep study, you should. One common symptom of sleep apnea is snoring.

Bottom line, I think, is that pain on awakening should be checked out.

Sorry I could not be of more help.

Thank you. Does the headache often go away within minutes or an hour? When you wake up do you feel like going back to sleep within several hours, or even much sooner?
