Then the Doc says I can't fly due to my Cluster headaches.... I get 2-5 attacks a day and if they happened in the air, they'd turn back....
Maybe if cluster headaches are vascular related, the cabin pressure changes may be the reason.I trust that you are getting good care but a quick cursory google search and I didn't see much about why you could not fly with cluster headaches. Not trying to be nosy or in your personal business, just sounds incredibly frustrating and I feel badly for you being stuck how you are.
Are there no medications they could give to prop you up long enough to make the flight? Perhaps a pirates life and a long slow boat trip? I kid I kid, terrible situation.
That reminds me of the second worst flight I ever took. I had stuffy sinuses on the ground, but in the air it turned into an excruciating headache. Luckily we landed eventually.Maybe if cluster headaches are vascular related, the cabin pressure changes may be the reason.
Had a flight like that, but it was a MAC flight on a damn turd of a C-131................across the damn Pacific!That reminds me of the second worst flight I ever took. I had stuffy sinuses on the ground, but in the air it turned into an excruciating headache. Luckily we landed eventually.
Holy shit! That's rough AF! Yeah, have that mid-flight would be insanely scary AF! I don't wanna think of that. I like flying very much, just not commercially! Only came up shortly outta the military. I had to fly a TON working for a big insurance company in the large market segment. I quit that and started contract inspections. No more flying! Only flown about five times commercially, a few years after 9/11. The stupid security measures administrated by fuggin morons only added to the aversion.it's just how I react during an attack.... I get very restless, often on my knees pushing my head into a sofa, moaning loudly etc. As it reaches its worst point, I'm growling and making deals with the devil at the gates of hell, eventually it's so bad I'm crying.
My usually very good BP went up to 241/200 and 275/79 and as low as 82/56 and 69/63 within minutes during the attacks. Happens at the same times of day too, 8am, 4.30pm and 2am are often the times I go down.... I used to smile internally if I saw it was 4.20, now I dread it!!
My GP reckons if they saw me doing that in the departure lounge they wouldn't let me on, and mid flight what with the noise etc, it would be a nightmare. Painkillers (even Oxycodone) won't work. It's a bastard.
