kovy,

I highly recommend during one of these rushes to be put on oxygen straight through your nose if possible. If your symptoms ease up, you may have found an easier solution to your problem.

I suggest this because of my own experience I wrote about a month or so ago. I had an extremely painful headache in my forehead and my blood pressure was very high, so I went to ER and when putting me on oxygen, it's as if the symptoms just went away. The headache went away with no medication at all. I was literally not getting enough oxygen to my brain and I think it largely had to do with a severe cold passed to me days before.

You can not just put yourself on oxygen. You will need a prescription for it and I am not sure that will be the answer. Oxygen is considered a medication- you need to be careful with it.

I know they don't sell them at Walgreens. I was suggesting he see a doctor in an urgent care situation and see if this helps.
