My wife never gets headaches! Last month while driving through the mountains of North Carolina she started getting headaches and they have not stopped for a month. We ascended to approximately 5,000 feet a few times and descended rather quickly. Our Dr. put her on butalb-acetamin-cafe,which has not helped,Now he wants her to go for a brain scan and M.R,I. Could altitude sickness last this long? It seems like she may have the bends,If she has a glass of wine the headaches get worse! Any advise would be appreciated!View Thread
