Head sensitive to cool/cold air movement

Hi, I live in England and I was very interested to find your question detailing the problems you experience when subjected to cool air movement.  I am posting this message as I am suffering extremely similar symptoms.  It appears that exposure to a direct air conditioning unit has aggravated the nerve endings around my left eye, making my eye area and down the side of my face extra-sensitive to moving air.  Even the slightest movement when the air is cold has an immediate effect which gives me pain and other symptoms not disimilar to synusitis.  This has gone on with me since Summer 2007 and I still suffer.  Does anyone have any answers yet?


This discussion is related to sensitive to cold air conditioner.

Sorry you're not getting any answers but this is a forum for heart problems. I don't think is is related to heart.

Some people with Raynauds are extremely sensitive to cold, even an air conditioned store or office. But their skin will turn blue, white and red.

In your case it sounds more like a neurological problem since there's nerve pain and nausea. I do hope all of you involved in this have seen a doctor. There's no need to go on suffering like this.

Continuation to my posting above. She can't read or look at object such as computer screen else she will get symptom as mention above. She did not have any previous surgery. Only allergy is taking beef and dairy product. But it is certain this is not the cause of the sickness she is having now. Help
