Oxygen to treat migraine
Listen carefully.....You can buy rescue Oxygen with a regulator that goes up to 25L/min. At 8-15 L/min a migraine should greatly improve or go away altogether after 5 min. You have to hyperventilate. I prefer to remove the mask and inhale off the hose and exhale thru your nose. 75% of people I know that tried this have a positive response.
Life Corportation sells the oxygen.
Hi Georgefelix,
Thank you for that information. Oxygen can be used for cluster headache
and has shown to be effective- and there is now some indication it may help migraine.Nancy
Well, I'm not the only one, then. A doctor friend recommended to try oxygen, because I related that strenuous exercise, especially walking at altitude seemed to trigger my migraines.
In NZ the gas companies have sown up the market so tight I was unable to obtain oxygen affordably, so he recommended I try just hyperventilating. To my great surprise it works for the majority of my attacks and I now use Rizamelt a lot less.
