Is oxygen deficiency the cause of my headache?
One morning over a week ago I awoke with a throbbing headache centred just above my right ear & pain killers only offer temporary relief. I still experience stabbing pains in the same area quite often throughout the day & night. I suffered from acute asthma for over 16 years before but have almost licked this problem as I don't have to take anti-asthma medication unless the weather is downright chilly. However, I often experience slight breathing difficulty (wheezing) if I wake up during the night or early morning. So I believe that I'm also wheezing & my brain is deprived of sufficient oxygen while I'm asleep. So is it possible that oxygen deprivation or deficiency during sleep is the cause of my having such a lingering headache & how shall I tackle this problem without resorting to drugs?
Is oxygen deficiency the cause of my headache?opera cdOxygen deprivation can cause headaches, severe, debilitating headaches. Oxygen levels below 90 are generally unacceptable and seriously reduces oxygen getting to the brain, causing headaches and eventually death. Mine did a nosedive below 60 before a medical professional realized what was causing my headaches and lethargy. There are quacks and there are doctors!!! I finally got a real doctor.
Please see a doctor immediately and ask for a blood oxygen measurement with an oximeter. If that's not the problem, sleep apnea is another real possibility, often requiring testing by a sleep disorders lab.
