Hello.

There have been multiple posts over the months I've been here about flying. Hopefully you can get some info here:

Wakey, you are the only other person that had a hard time on the flight as me. When the plane ascended I had the most painful headache, during the flight and on descent. It went away about an hour after the flight. My neuro said that it was just stress, but I assure you it was not. I wanted to scream, I thought my head was exploding.

Will you please share your experience? I looked online and there is such a thing as an airplane headache, which seems to be either a sinus pressure issue, low oxygen, or altitude sickness. I was very nauseated as well and was on a smaller plane.

These comments on this site described similar pain, and one of them had a history of concussions. The article is so so but the comments are helpful.

I would like to go on a flight again, but I need to figure out if I need migrane meds, or if this is altitude sickness, do I need something else? I have never had any sinus issues before, so I'm thinking that that is not the case.

I would love to travel, It is something that I hope to do soon again. Anyone else have this headache?
