C/w Migraine HA: Check answer: https://www.Healthtap.Com/#user_questions/823704. If migraine ha, compression (low in neck over common carotid artery) to reduce flow, on painful side, to dilated arteries in meninges may quickly reduce pain. If held for up to a minute & careful to minimize head movements next ~5 min, may sometimes dramatically reduce current episode of pain. Focus on patterns/feelings triggering.
