Headaches?
Topic 15010 | Page 2
Altitude changes give me headaches like a day at 7000 say flagstaff then going to 200ft cali and vice versa.
Can heat cause headaches? Air conditioning? The cooler we just got? (only the timing makes me question this...that and the smell of it the first day or two as it cooled down). I'm going on my third night, and my husband his second day, of a near blinding headache that Tylenol barely touches. We aren't dehydrated. We don't have high blood pressure. I'm at my wits end because I can't get it to go away!! Anyone have any suggestions or know of possible causes?
DAC:
Drive-A-Check Report
A truck drivers DAC report will contain detailed information about their job history of the last 10 years as a CDL driver (as required by the DOT).
It may also contain your criminal history, drug test results, DOT infractions and accident history. The program is strictly voluntary from a company standpoint, but most of the medium-to-large carriers will participate.
Most trucking companies use DAC reports as part of their hiring and background check process. It is extremely important that drivers verify that the information contained in it is correct, and have it fixed if it's not.
Yeah, attitude might be a possibility. We're in and out of mountains on a daily basis practically. Barometric pressure possibly as well, since the past couple days were close to a storm system.
Surprised no one had mentioned.... although this is may be considered a part of an electrolyte imbalance, but.... low magnesium has been linked with migraines. Just FYI. i'd also check the blood iron levels, especially for menstruating women. By the way, Gatorade is mostly sugar. Homemade electrolyte beverages can be made with ground magnesium, potassium, and sodium and water -- flavor it up with lime/lemon or orange juice or something. Coconut water is a source of natural electrolytes.
Since I've been snacking on trail mixes, I should be ok on magnesium and potassium...and over on sodium and sugar lol. Good to know though! Thanks..welcome to TT!!

Yup. He loves his 'Dew' but has been trying to cut back on sodas. He's also began drinking a coffee when he drives at night... I know caffeine headaches...nothing helps but caffeine.
