All one sided headache problem folks, please check out Cluster Headaches. They are called “clusters” because they come one after another usually. More severe than migraines if you can believe that. Always involve only the same side of head. Teeth, ear, jaw, all will be in hard pain. The cure is O2, yes Oxygen. At first sign of one start breathing deep and long breaths pulling air thru your nose, exhale thru mouth.. Do so until pains subsides. If this fails see you doctor and get RX for E-tanks of oxygen. Set flow meter to 8 to 10 (a lot). Clusters are the worst headache imaginable. And so simple to eliminate. Best to all. And get those shoulders out of your Ears and try relaxing some! Treetop

Preach, @treetop, about getting shoulders out of ears! You are ever so right!! What a difference relaxation makes along with air. Pure, simple air, and breathing. I don't use oxygen but sure do use my own air and deep belly breathing. I slowly breath in through my nose while inflating my belly like a balloon, then slowly out through my nose while deflating my belly. Usually about 4-5 seconds each way. Dropping those shoulders down as far as they can go to release stress and loosening jaw muscles. Guided imagery helps too.

How great of you to share what works well for you. Keep on keeping on.
