Joe,

Are these headaches or Migraines? What diagnosis has your doctor given you? Migraines and headaches aren't the same thing. For some people, dust seems to be a Migraine trigger, but everyone differs a great deal.

 

If you haven't already, please see your doctor for a diagnosis. Treatments for headaches and Migraines are different, so getting a diagnosis is one of the first steps toward feeling better. If it turns out that dust is a trigger for you, you and your doctor can also discuss when you encounter it and possible ways to avoid it.

 

Welcome again,

Teri
