Chronic severe nocturnal hypnic headaches

I have suffered from hypnic headaches ever since being on DOAC blood thinners. Occular migraines happen with heparin. When I don’t take any of these I get no headaches at all. I think this is my cause but as I have to be on blood thinners I am running out of options. Anyone found any relationship between meds like these an£ their nighttime regular headaches?

@gset no I have not taken heparin or any DOACs. But its helpful to know that there may be a correlation between those and headaches for some patients. I will certainly prepare in case I never need these treatments. Thank you for sharing that so that we can be better prepared. I hope there will be more alternatives for your to replace the DOACs and Heparin that do not cause headaches or other side effects.
