AC installed: Depending on how hot it is in that room, if you cannot distant yourself from the ac, then wrapping your head with a scarf or towel might come handy, also adjusting the setting on the ac might help.

Pernicious Winds: I agree w earlier response. You have created what is called "pernicious winds" in traditional chinese medicine. This is not healthy. It can cause increased muscle tension with headache. Encourage you to alter your room so that you don't have air conditioning or an vents directed at or near your head or neck.

Sir from 2-3 days I have been suffering from headache. When I get sleep then headache diminishes. But after some time again headache starts. Only forehead pain. Sir I am very scared, because I am thinking that a tumour has been born in my brain?
