Can using oxygen cause headaches?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Breathing oxygen in through a nasal cannula (little prongs in your nose) can cause the membranes to become very dry and irritated. This will cause pain similar to a sinus headache.

Have the doctor order the oxygen to be moisturized. The oxygen will then be pumped through a special water bottle so when it is breathed in it will not be so irritating.

Can a full stomach cause a headache?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, a backed up stomach can cause a headache and even a migraine. Being constipated can cause muscle tension and congestion in the rest of the body all the way up the spine and into the back of the neck. This is called referred pain. When your neck and head muscles tense up, it causes tension in the occipital nerve that goes into your head and is connected to your eyes. This can cause really extreme pain in your neck, jaw, head, eyes and more. You can wind up in the hospital with a severe migraine if you are constipated. Hydration is important. Avoiding foods that constipate you is extremely important. Make sure to eat a well-balanced diet including lots of fruits and vegetable, and stay hydrated.

Should you sleep with a headache?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Whether you should sleep with a headache is dependent upon the cause of the headache symptom.

For example, sleeping with a headache caused by a recent head injury could be dangerous, while sleeping during a Migraine re-sets the brain and can abort the attack, ending the pain.

For appropriate diagnosis, treatment and prevention of headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache specialist.

What causes you to get a severe headache every night at the same time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You could be dehydrated or hungover from alcohol.

It could be a caffeine addiction withdrawal: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2004/09_29_04.html

You might also have sleep apnea, whereby your breathing gets obstructed (from bad snoring, for example) and you don't get enough oxygen to the brain while sleeping. Usually this can be determined by a sleep study, and, if you have apnea, there are mechanisms to be used to help keep you breathing smoothly during the night. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/SleepApnea/SleepApnea_WhatIs.html or it could be the jolt of sitting up suddenly in the morning. some scientists think that the jolt can give you a headache and make you bad tempered.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, I have been there. If you find yourself falling asleep at strange times along with your feet being soar there is a good chance. Another simple no doctor test is to push on your breasts, not gently. If they are really soar, or even strangly soar by this action you should go to a doctor fast. Sadley my friends and I learned these techniques the hard way. If it just that your balance is off and bad headaches you might have a really bad sinus infection. Either way go to your regular doctor if you feel comfortable and get a pregnancy test while your there. It only takes about ten minutes, and the sooner is allways the better. If you do not feel comfortable than call plan parenthood tell them the situation and set up for an anual exam it will get you in the door, and while your there for that ask for a pregnancy test. Because of your situation they usually make a spot open up. Be honest with them about everything but drug use. They will not help anyone who has used drugs as of a new company poliecey enacted a couple of years ago. Good luck, you'll be fine. yes, of course does are the symptoms of being pregnant i know this because im pregnant and does are my symptoms so good luck and take care ok. Yes, but you could have a migrain also Yes, you could also have eaten something bad or have allergies. Get a preg test and take the guess out of your worry.

What is a lump on the left side of the neck near the spine that is accompanied by involuntary cracking of the neck and a headache?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sounds like two different things going on... 1. lump could be a lymph node or fatty tumor... neither is anything to worry about... If the lump is at the hairline halfway between the spine and ear, there is a possibility you could have an occipital neuralgia... at the point where a nerve exits from the deep tissue of the neck at the base of the skull and palpating (pushing) the area causes shooting pains to the side of the head. This can also cause really terrible headaches to the side of the head. 2. The "crunching" symptoms are most likely degenerative joint disease (arthritis). Arthritis can also cause neck pain. You need a series of xrays of the neck. If you are having weakness of your arms and difficulty working above your head, refer to another answer linked below.

What is the earliest sign of ALS?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease is a progressive disease that destroys nerves and muscles. Only a neurologist could diagnose it properly. The first signs that Lou Gehrig had were a slight slowing of his reactions and reduced strength. Nearly everyone over 40 has those symptoms!

The ALS Association says weakness, reduced coordination, clumsiness, pain in hands and feet are all signs of ALS but that there is no one main early symptom. All of those symptoms could be caused by many other things.
