Is your oxygen attached to it? It's the lack of oxygen that gives you the headaches.

CPAP? I've heard of APAP --- which is Tylenol in meds. What is CPAP? It depends what type of headache you have. Migraines need Imitrex or similar. Unfortunately, that is prescription only and fairly expensive unless your Rx coverage is good.

Cpap & Bipap machines are for sleep apnea. They force you to breath when you stop. She may also need O2 If her sat levels are still too low. Low sat levels are usually what causes morning head aches.

Morning headaches can be due to sinus problems; lack of water; or not enough oxygen. Best wishes.

WELL what ever is the cause there could be a dozen or so reasons for your headaches.
Rather it be on the CPAP or BYPAP or whatever......you can have all kinds of reasons.
I take two tablets and go back to bed for a while. I use a powerful table. But it helps me.
I get headaches different times. I have them in the morning too.
I have ask my doctor they don't seem to worry about mind, right now.

HAVE YOU ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT YOUR HEADACHES?
just little o'me asking you. might be the first place to go.

I know isn't what you wanted to here. Another place look under the Web MD site and see what they have to say.

Good luck best wishes
