In the 1960s I was frequently going to the doctor to get my sinuses drained. In the 1970s and 1980s I rubbed my forehead with my fingertips in response to headaches . Headaches are one of the symptoms of sleep apnea and are thought to be caused by reduced levels of oxygen. In my opinion the headaches are caused by the apnea termination 'snort'. I think that the 'snort' blows 'junk' in the oral cavity in all directions, including the sinuses. (My headaches were not limited to mornings.)

Some autistic children perform 'head banging'. I suspect that it could in response to an apnea headache.

Comments, if you please.

Best to all
