The Computer will heat the air.
And that I believe is the problem, the air coming from the case will have a lower humidity than the air that goes in, effectively it is making the air in your room dry which can cause headaches, sore throats, sinus issues etc.
You could try placing a bowl or glass of water in line with the exhaust air and see if that helps overnight.

I did something else , i modified a lava lamp , removed the "lava" container and replaced it with an open bowl of water and added some marine salt in it . The water slowly evaporates over night and it kinda helped . But i can't keep it like that . I forgot to turn of the rear fan and i woke up now , the right side of my face feels like i was involved in a fight over night . Pain all over from eye to ear to jaw . I will end up buying a tent and sleep in it , installed in my room , lol .

when I was a kid I slept in a tent that looked like a tank.. had holes for guns and a blow up turret.

sounds like a humidifier might help you.. will actually circulate the air in your room but your pc wont like to much humidity either.

if your like me you hate going to a doctor but you seem kinda sensitive so you should probably get checked if you have not.

they probably got something to help you out. I have crohns so I have to give myself a injection every other weak and its not so bad.

I've been to the doctors , i have this problem for at least 2 years , they say it's an allergy to cold . The problem gets worse when i go fishing , tho . It's bad now , but not as bad as in the hot summers . When i arrive at the lake , like at 4 a.m. , everything is fine , but once the sun strikes , my nose gets stuffed and i can't breathe through it . The same happens when i turn on the heat or it's too hot in my room . Now , i don't know what to say , i'd think that there's enough humidity near lakes or other waters .

I forgot to add that i first noticed problems back in 2007 , i bought a cheap case , a Chieftec GX series and the ventilation on that one was a bit different from what i've had before . I've started to develop ear infections and then a molar got infected . I've been to the doctors and they say it it was because of the draft . My room is not drafty , i have quality windows that close perfect , modern type of windows , also good doors , so unless that the draft doesn't comes out of the walls , there's nothing left than that the case is creating the draft .

That is probably caused by the facial nerve that runs from the lower jaw up to the temple, an infected molar can affect that, particularly at night when you lay down.
In my case it also caused bad headaches.

I got the tooth removed back then , i didn't even know it was infected . It's roots were , i had no pain and no problems with the molar . But i got the tooth removed for another reason and the dentist was like , wtf , these roots are infected , i shouldn't have done this . But this is another story , i am trying to find out if the ventilation is causing the problems . Some people say that such things as draft cannot cause problems or that there is no draft . But there is .

Did you ever got CBZ ( carbamazepine ) prescribed ? Check your blood pressure also .

This reminded me of something . Have you ever heard anyone saying : "you should see my doctor , he's the best ?" . There can't be that many bests . Someone graduated at the bottom of the class :))

I can't sleep with a fan on, or a draft in the room, doesn't matter if it is cold air or warm air, it makes my bones ache and it takes me forever to get out of bed in the mornings. So I know from experience it does affect me.

That's my problem and i am 99.9 % sure that the case is causing the draft . If i change the case position , the issues change too . I may feel better next morning , or worse . So i need to get rid of the fans or make a dog house for the case , lol .

I'm no neuro-surgeon but pain killers only stop the signal from reaching the brain, if the source of that signal is the brain then drastic measures need to be undertaken to obtain relief, such as deep brain implants to disrupt the neural stimulators, if beta blockers don't work, of course there is always the sworn by method of thc. :pimp:

Beta-blockers are not for the treatment of pain . They can be prescribed , off-label , for migraines , tremors , but these are only the nonselective betablockers like Propranolol and Atenolol . Cardioselective beta-blockers are used in the treatment of different cardiovascular disease and the nonselective ones can also be prescribed , off-label , in some anxiety disorders . They block the adrenaline receptors and thus , the adrenaline will no longer affect the body for a while .

Neuropathic pain has to be properly treated by a neurologist .

These dont work for me

Tegretol
Amiltriptyline
gabapentin
Pregabalin
Duloxetine
Palexia
Tramadol
Valium
Butrans
Any of the opiates
And any and all of the over counter concoctions
CBT is a waste of time.


THC i take from dawn to dusk for me it has no obvious therapeutic effect though it does help me relax.

i no longer take any prescribed drugs as the side effects trouble me and typically make me cross

Admittedly i do take strong painkillers recreationaly just to feel different for a bit.

This isnt a sob story, i still love my life i just need a head transplant. And no, the avatar isnt really me.

The stellate ganglion injection goes to the back of the spinal column.

The consultant put it in the wrong place.

My lung collapsed.

He lost his job.

I gave up cigarettes.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

I know many stories like that . I am sorry for your condition . Some idiot almost killed me at the E.R. , 4 years ago , by mistake . I was lucky that my heart didn't give up , 170 bpm and 220/120 bp , caused by some stupid pill he gave me to threat a blocked muscle on my right leg .

We expect miracles.
They cant fix everything like a mechanic or technician. In the UK we have the National Health Service. Which is brilliant however........
