Did you ever get it when you were standing still? Sometimes I'll just be sitting here and it feels like my brain moves from one side to the other very quickly. It only lasts a split second. My vision goes with it, as if I've moved my head but I haven't.
Yes, I get this too. Sometimes when I'm lying down unmoving as well. It's like a brief flash of vertigo.

luckily I had not done login, otherwise you felt my laughter when I read phone (I was talking about hair dryer ...):depressed:
I think sudo in your language you say sweat.

I think that our headache 95% is caused by taking cold or wind in it, the most vulnerable areas are: the side (above and behind the ear) and the neck;
if you are sweaty in those areas and you are exposed to wind and cold headache is first and strongest.

Mesci thanks for giving me the opportunity to explain ...:)

I only did it because I reckoned from past experience that it was fairly safe for me to be a guinea pig in this case. There are things that people ask in a similar way that I'm not prepared to do as I know that it will have bad consequences - and I often say so.

I hope that others are careful too! If not, I will have to be careful about asking if anyone has adverse effects from jumping off a cliff...
