Hi XXXXXXX thanks for asking from HCM.

I can understand your concern. Headache is of so many types. A headache occurring through night can be

: Tension headache
: Migraine
: Headache due to gastritis or other causes
: Headache due to old injury
: Headache due to visual problem
: Brain mass

So to differentiate between all these, I need to know your detailed history. Please tell me

: type of headache - dull aching/ pulsatile/ sharp shooting

: Any radiation to face or neck

: Any nasal blockade/ running nose/ heaviness over cheeks or forehead

: Allergy history

: Any visual complaints or use of glasses

; Any nausea, vomiting

; Any fever

: Mental stress

Hope you will understand my point. If any doubt, do let me know.
Thanks. Take care
