What Causes Sudden Headache At Night?

Last night at around 3:00 a.m . in the morning , I woke up with a pounding headache on the the right side of my head and the pain went until I got tired and fell asleep at 6:00 a.m. in the morning. I still have the pain but not as much as last night.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Such kind of mid night pulsating headache is classically seen with migraine.
So follow these lifestyle modifications for better symptomatic relief in migraine.
1. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
2. Avoid excessive sun exposure.
3. Avoid oily and spicy food. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
4. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
5. Take propranolol and flunarizine combination at night time before bed.
6. Avoid fasting and take your meals timely.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
