Namaste,

I have to agree with the advice above. Child Pose and Downward Dog Pose are used for heaches. Both are known for treatment of headaches and they both give relief because of the mild blood flow toward the brain that takes place during the pose. It seems like a doctors visit is in order. But Stapleton, why did you have to go into panic mode? We know there are many possible problems. We don't know for sure what they are. Even a doctor would subject this student to tests before suggesting this was anything serious.

Peace
