What Causes Headaches In Indoor Environments?

I have a dull pain on the right side of my head/upper brow area. At times it even feels like my right ear is stuffy. Being outside in fresh air makes it feel a bit better but once I m inside the pain increases again. I ve tried to sleep it off and taken Tylenol. What kind of headache could this be?

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query and feel that you are affected by something in the house which is causing the headache. Is there something like mould growing in the house?

This mould can release pollen and cause the issue. Do you have air conditioning on indoors? It seems that you have an ear infection which is possible because you say you have a stuffy ear. This infection can lead to the headache that you are talking about.

An ear issue also makes sense because the ears are sensitive to changes in pressure and can pick up these quickly. This can cause an increase in the pain. You can manage this by seeing an ENT specialist and then get treatment for it with antibiotics. In some rare cases, surgery may be needed to help you. All the best.

Wishing you a speedy
