Really intense eye pain / head ache on plane landing.. (was almost crying)

bledd · 1 Jul 2008 at 15:29

I've had this twice (out of about 10 flights)

Was the worst pain I've ever felt in my head, felt like my eye was being stabbed from the inside of my head, and thought veins were going to burst etc..

Could this be just from having a slight cold?

:confused:

good, was expecting something lame like oh, that's the brain tumor thingy, last thing i need right now

when flying i constantly yawn, eat chewing gum etc to keep my ears re-pressurised, must be sinuses or something

had a slight cold for well over a year now, the doctor said "you'll get over it" when i said my nose had been running for over a year..

seriously though, horrible horrible pain

-edit: chucky, exactly the same mate, at the time i honestly felt like saying "tell the pilot to climb for a bit"

unhelpful posts being the other side-effect

hmm..

first time i was disastrously hungover, and the second time I'd not drank anything that day..

those coupled with not having a large intestine doesn't help water intake

, will bear that in mind next time i fly
