Maybe something even as simple as allergies. Did you change laundry soap, buy new linens or pillows. Cosmetics, hand cream, moisturizer - even a bra or prosthetic?

It's that time of year for new things to bloom or die and that plant/flower/weed can get to you (and suddenly too even though you were never allergic before). And these do not necessarily have to be sinus headaches either. New pet?

Don't expect the worst but be prepared for a brain MRI to rule mets out.
