Lightheaded with ET

I know the feeling, definitely light headed and always wake up with a headache sometimes like a horrendous hangover and no not been drinking either, used to love a glass of wine. I can drink a lunchtime but I think because I am more hydrated in the day. I do try to drink a glass of water before I go to bed which does help the headaches, I notice headache worse if I forget. We obviously get dehydrated in the night. I also drink lemon water throughout the day which really helps with hydration.

Good luck with the haematologist.

@lynn22, yes! Morning headaches and a hungover feeling. I’ve suffered with them for years-long before the ET diagnosis. I thought perhaps they were “ hypnic. headaches.” The solution that has helped me is to have a cup of half-decaf coffee sometime before going to bed. Strangely, it doesn’t keep me up and usually prevents the a.m. headache.
