I always get really strong headaches just before landing. Lately, they have been so severe that I honestly feel like my head is going to explode. The closer the plane gets to the ground, the more pain I have. After landing, the pain eases a little but I have a headache at least a day or two afterwards. Do anyone have any suggestions?

i get that too its because of the pressure changes it effects your sinus and yopu get pressure pains. try taking some paracetamol before you fly.

It could be your sinuses.As we ascend and decend, there are changes in the air pressure. Some people pop their ears to over come this, but you may have blocked sinus passages that dont allow you to do this.

Please tell me you are not an airline pilot!

Okay, you get this because of something called the law of inertia. When the plane id descending, the organs and fluid in your body stays in the position, that means, think you were at 4000 ft and are descending to 3000 ft, your body tries to stay at 4000 ft and refuse to go down to 3000. And when you go down and the internal body goes up, it sends lots of blood to the brain, so much that you feel pressure on the brain which you experience as a severe headache. And because of the strong pressure on the brain, the headache lasts for a day or two.
