7:57 Kind of a funny story. So in late November last year, I was in the ER, and in my discharge paper work, it said that my blood pressure was high and that I may want to see my primary doctor about hypertension. I looked at this and laughed. When they took my blood pressure, I was in the ER, with a broken AND dislocated ankle, by myself, in a crazy amount of pain, and learning from personal experience that adrenaline and fear are some crazy pain-killers. But my blood pressure was high. Gee, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY??? The nurses and all were actually really nice, no shade towards them whatsoever. I just thought it was funny that in the given circumstances I was told I may want to talk to my doctor about hypertension.

Fun fact: sun sneezing is a thing and it’s believed to be due to a difference in certain genes Update: Thanks for all of the likes. This happened to me all semester during my 8:30AM classes as soon as the professor turnt on the projector and there was a blast of blue light. Has artificial light also caused you to sneeze?

For the sneezing one, I have actually done that a few times when I have a sneeze that's "stuck". I don't know about bright lights, but I glance at the sun and something stimulates my urge to sneeze. Can't explain why, but it does work at times.

Besides how pleasant of a real person you are to listen to, how entertaining you can be while still being VERY educational, I just truly love how you explain things in a way that makes sense. I do software tech support and understand how to diagnose technical things while explaining them in laymens terms to others, and seeing you do that same/similar funneling down process of figuring out issues is that I do is very gratifying. That WHOLE thing I said probably came off as weird, but I'm okay with that as long as I didn't weird anyone out. Truly mean this all as a compliment! Thank you for all your videos

So that whole "look at a bright light to sneeze" thing is called Photic Sneeze Reflex, and affects 18-35% of the world population, myself included. When I was younger, it was common for me to exit a dark place on a bright day, and have a sneeze. It continued into my adulthood and I was relieved to find out that it's an actual thing. The reason this happens is not well understood, however. Probably just some random mutation causing a crossed wire in the brain somewhere. It does come in handy though, because if I'm on the verge of sneezing, I can simply look directly into a bright light and get it done with.

I've tried the feet in hot water and ice on the head thing for migraines. Why? Because there comes a point where you will try just about anything, and it was risk free with no side effects. It worked better than most things, but probably not any better than just putting ice on my head/neck- which tends to be the most effective thing for me. And my brother always sneezes a few times when he first goes into bright sunlight, so I buy the sneezing thing at least for some people. Oh, and I don't know what if blowing on your thumb the way you did it reduces anxiety, but we use something that might be called blowing on your thumb as a vagal maneuver to lower heart rate or pull someone out of SVT, might work for anxiety as well. Where you have the person put the tip of their thumb in their mouth and blow out against the pressure.

Hi Doctor Mike, your videos are the best! i had a question i wanted to ask you for weeks but didn't have the time. When you have a headache, does green light helps?

The bright light sneezing things actually works for me. No every time, but sometimes it does initiate a sneeze when i look at sun.

I will say that the sinus headache one is actually nice, cause in my experience it can help encourage drainage a bit and kinda lessen the pressure a bit (so it hurts less) but to be fair what I call "sinus" headaches are mostly just inflamed sinuses/congestion where the pressure is enough to make my head hurt.

I’ve always been one to sneeze when I walk outside on a sunny day. I used to tell people I was “allergic to the sun” 😂

The acupressure points are actually real weirdly enough- idk exactly how it works but pressing down on your hand in between your thumb and pointer finger can relieve headaches- and it actually works for me Same thing with pressing down between your eyebrows and on the back of your neck

Sun-sneezer here! I actually constantly sneeze when it's outside and sunny and I'm trying to keep my eyes open. "Scientists think that because they're so close together, bright flashes of light that trigger your optical nerve can accidentally stimulate the trigeminal nerve." That's the general consensus, and it's really annoying for me. I'm just going for a walk and keep on sneezing because it's bright out.

Fun fact: I actually look at the sun as a “bright light” to help me sneeze and works every time. (not sure if it applies to all)

the photic sneeze reflex is a real thing. I have it, my brother had it, my daughter has it, but not everyone has it. It sucks, in that going out in the sun can sometimes make you sneeze, but it is good that when you feel like you need to sneeze, but can't, looking up in the sky or near a bright light can bring it on.

5:00 ok that one actually sounds almost legit though, for super specific headaches caused by high blood pressure in the skull, since warming your feet would allow the veins to distend a tiny bit (thus allowing more blood to move there in relation to your brain) more while cooling your neck distracts you from your headache :P like i get where they're coming from, but i doubt it's anywhere near an efficient way to treat even that.

11:24 that's part of why horror games or fast moving rides are severely discouraged for those with a history of heart conditions or at high risk of developing one, as well as those with some disabilities.

My brother is a scientist, and he says the reason people sneeze when we look at a bright light is because our olfactory nerves and optical nerves are so close that when the optical nerves are agitated (like they are when we look at a bright light) it tickles our olfactory nerves causing us to sneeze.

The fingers on both sides of the top of the nose in the corners of the eye sockets CAN actually provide soothing relief for a headache. Won't stop the headache, but it can be relaxing putting pressure on the right spots there or even squeezing the thicker skin where the nose meets the forehead. In the video, he keeps putting fingers on his forehead, which isn't the same thing at all.
