Sick headache
Hi
I read the bold part in an article some days ago. Would you say that it is a natural collocation?
I woke up with a sick headache.
Thanks,
Tom

Mr. TomI woke up with a sick headache.
It sounds natural to me, but note that this expression had its heyday in the 1880s. It is not used anywhere near as much anymore these days.
