Would a surgical puncture to the skull relieve a pressure headache?
Would a surgical puncture to the skull relieve a pressure headache?
So obviously I know that this isn't the solution, but would a hole in the head equalize the pressure and relieve pain? Or are pressure headaches within the bloodstream or something internal?
Really wish I had a tire valve on the back of my neck to balance out.
You're viewing a single thread.
Do not put a hole in your skull. No. The headache is not caused by cranial pressure.
Your sinuses may be inflamed, and relieving that pressure might provide temporary relief (like pressing on your forehead) but a hole in your skull wouldn't fix the underlying sinus problem, and would likely result in worse infections and irritation.
Don't listen to this person. Drill a hole in your head. The documentary, Pi, showed that this works.
I shouldn't be surprised at this comment, Piholes seem fairly popular on Lemmy
Zing!
That movie was fucked up.
Shame they cropped out the greek subtitles so poorly.
Oh dont worry, this is all purely speculative.
The pain is almost always centered right behind and above the eyeballs. Even when first waking up or not actively straining eyes, usually accompanied by barometric shift.
It's not like ocular migraines because it doesn't give any visual flashing or anything like you'd associate with usually.
It's likely my sleeping, switched to shkikifuton & tatami to try and counteract backpain from soft matresses, but my neck seems to suffer instead.
And even then you should only let your doctors 16-year-old daughter drill the hole...

Too soon lol
They make earplugs for migraines caused by barometric shifts. The company is called weatherx. I'm wearing mine right now.
That's the first I've heard of that solution. I'll definitely look into them, thanks!
