I started having headaches a couple of years ago. I should say, that, headaches were a very rare event in my life. However, as time went on, they started getting more frequent. And, like yours, they would not go away during the day-- no matter how much aspirin I took. These headaches were absolute levelers....I couldn't function...all I could do was rock back and forth in bed and moan.
Oh, they usually started around 3 or 4 in the morning. I'm currently on cpap at 11 and have not had a recurrence of the headaches. So, I guess I
have to think it was a symptom of the apnea. Maybe you should try the cpap therapy and see
if that inhibits the occurence of headaches.
Good luck
