Some mornings I wake up with a pretty bad headache at my left temple, and leg aches at the same time. I know that I'm a very light sleeper and a shallow breather (my doctor knows about this), so some time ago, I decided to start deep breathing before ever getting out of bed. This makes the aches go away in a couple of minutes. I think it's just a matter of getting that circulation going. Does this make sense to you?

I was having headaches and falling asleep sitting up. It turned out that I was not getting rid of enough CO2. I was hospitalized and sent home with Luisa, a non invasive ventilator,(kind of like a CPAP but much more advanced. I use it now while sleeping and I no longer have the headaches and I am alert now during the day instead of dozing off.
Carol, interesting that several other people experience the same thing. I'm also leaning a little toward high blood pressure. In that case, stress can certainly be a factor.
Sounds perfect, @Jael! I'll have to ask Alexa!!🤣 I'll let you know if she recommends it!! I honestly never like whiskey! Rum drinks are my favorite at "Christmas"!!🤣
@A MyCOPDTeam Member, My kidneys are not in excellent shape, but they're holding their own. I believe more strongly than ever that if we give our body every chance we can, it will hang in there with us requiring very few additives. Natural, healthy foods, plenty of water, but don't drown ourselves in it, reasonable exercise, meditation of our choice, some time in the sun and a good occasional belly laugh generally don't cost all that much. Here I am at this age, not having cared for my body in the past, still in good enough shape to keep going, and I am grateful.
I appreciate you and all the people in here for your solid information and encouragement. Happy Sunday to you too! 🎈
@A MyCOPDTeam Member - you are right, water with electrolytes already in it can taste terrible if you don’t need them. But, as long as you stay hydrated and don’t mess up your kidneys, it’s all good,
Happy Sunday to you.
