Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Burg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Let's talk about how to prevent headaches if you're flying an airplane.

In fact, one of the 12 people experience headaches when they're flying.

There are certain things that occur in the brain.

You have an increase of something called prostoclandins.

That's a compound that increases when you have inflammation and, in fact, aspirin works

by inhibiting prostoclandins.

When you have more prostoclandins, you have an expansion of your blood vessels in the

brain and that's what causes the pain in your head.

These headaches occur from two situations.

Number one, you have this change in pressure when you take off and when you land.

Number one, that affects the sinus cavities.

Number two, you get this spike in cortisol.

The cortisol can also produce headaches and anxiety.

We have cortisol and we have this change in pressure which affects the sinus cavities.

What can you do?

The most important thing to do is to completely relax when you fly.

There's a very interesting video that I think you should watch if you have a problem relaxing

and I'll put that link down below where you actively cause the different parts of your

body just to relax more and more and more so you don't get on the plane being all really

tense and stressed out.
