Confusion about headache/lack of quality sleep

Symptoms Physical
#1

Ever since I was on and after I quit propecia I get these really bad all day headaches 2-5 days a week usually. I really thought it was just part of the lack of quality sleep I usually get. I’m wondering if they are separate? I sleep 8-9 hours a night. Usually only get up once for a few minutes to use the bathroom. I get these “tension” type headaches over most of the top of my head. I lay down for hours and they don’t go away. Advil and Tylenol don’t help at all. Coffee makes these worse. I tried some migraine pills after all of these years and it makes me feel much better.

Then again maybe the lack of quality of sleep is causing these? But again Im not sure my quality of sleep is bad. I sleep through most nights mostly uninterrupted.

I don’t know what I am asking exactly. I guess I’m wondering if others on here experience this? Or maybe its something not related to PFS. When you guys haven’t slept well do you just feel sleepy? Or/and do you have a headache that won’t go away?

Before PFS, I could count the headaches I had in my life on one hand, and have a finger left over for Ken Frazier. Since PFS, I get terrible headaches probably once a week, sometimes more. I have one this morning as I type this. I slept great last night, and woke up with a terrible headache. Not sure what causes them, and while they aren’t life threatening, they are just another reminder of how fucked up my body is after a year of Finastercide.

I had these tension headaches like a cycle (Pms) they seem to have ended as its been about two months since I had one

Thanks for the responses! I’m thinking these headaches might be from rogaine. Will be quitting to see. I googled headach+rogaine. Some posts describe an all day long headache, just like I get. I shouldnt care about hair anymore as I hear on here a lot. But I had a Hair Transplant and I have some very noticeable scars if my hair is short.

Pretty sure I got the headaches figured out. I went to the dentist. I had a very hard lump on my gums near the back. Apparently is was from grinding/chomping my teeth at night. The very hard lump is actually extra bone formation built up from the impact of chomping overnight. Ive been using a teeth guard for a week now and no headaches so far. Sleep is still crappy, but I feel a bit better at least.
