Can ceiling fans cause dehydration in your eyes leading to headaches or migrains
my girlfriend likes to sleep cold with the airconditioner set low and the ceiling fan turned on high. This causes me to wake up with what i can only describe as dehydration headaches similar to a sinus infection headache. When the fan is on medium or low I sometimes feel a little dehydrated but without the headache.
I'm not sure what you mean by "dehydration" in your eyes? Do you have chronic dry eyes? I suppose dry eyes can trigger a "sinus" headache. But, most sinus headaches are actually migraines.
I've never heard of dry eyes triggering a migraine, but there are so many strange triggers, they might.
This would be a great question for our Ask The Clinician feature.

How strange that you should ask this because I sleep with a ceiling fan on and wake up every day mostly at dawn with the beginning of a migraine. I have found that natural tears help sometime..
