Why do I experience migraines originating from my neck while sleeping? I wake up at night with severe neck pain that triggers migraines.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Mechanical problems in the neck, such as radiculopathies, can often trigger migraines. Please consult a physician therapist for massage and trigger point release.
Thanks
