Has anyone else noticed that as the glass rises they sometimes, just
occasionally, get a bit of a headache. It happens to me often
enough to
be
aware of it but it seems more obvious in the colder months when we
get a
bright starry sky and cold, sunny days. Years ago I mentioned it to
a
doctor - not as a worry, just in passing - and he looked at me as if
I
was
barking. But I'm sure there's some sort of relationship between
one and
the other.

You are not alone. It is a link that I've heard discussed over the
years, particularly in relation to migrane sufferers. It is
medically
controversial. I read a study in scientific american, or some such,
in
a hotel in New England one snowy day when I could not get to work,
which showed a tiny but measurable incidence. I expect it would be
difficult to reproduce.

The only obvious connection I have thought of is a sinus headache,
where the sinuses are too blocked to allow pressure to equilibrate.
But I am not a doctor, so am probably wrong.

It's never happened to me, but then I have never been seasick either
but that doesn't stop me knowing other people can be! My headaches
appear to be associated with dehydration if they are not a symptom of
an infection.

I have never thought about it, but does barometric pressure effect
blood
pressure or the kit they use to measure it? I am lucky enough to
almost
never get a headache but one child is a regular sufferer, his seem
inexplicable

Obviously you'll have done the eye test stuff but I would strongly
recommend
a good chiropractor. Quite often the spine is 'out' without us knowing
it.

If your spine is out I would recommend seeing a qualified doctor.

Or perhaps, we've become so accustomed to it that we don't know it's
happened if there's no pain. I used to become giddy so easily that it
really scared me but once I found a good chiropractor that is -
almost - a
thing of the past. My spine's a bit of a mess and always has been but
once
it travels to the neck....

Thats really interesting because just 10 days ago he went to one with a
bad back and after the x-rays it turns out one hip joint is 8mm lower
than the other, may be if they sort that out he will lose the headaches
:~)

Wearing a larger pair of underpants can cure headaches, allegedly.

Only if worn on the head. On top of the tinfoil hat. Honest.

Will you demonstrate?
