I think it helps when I scream at the top of my lungs into a pillow or something for about a minute or two. Im not gonna say it goes away all the time right away, but it seems to have been shortening the amount of time they last. Has anyone else heard of, or tried this.

Haven't heard of it before, but makes enough sense to me. 8-)

I would imagine it could work best if taking in unobstructed freah air inhales between screams.

Please hang around for the info and advice here, it has helped me and many others tremendously.

Welcome to the board Jred! I agree with Bejeeber. Various forms of hyperventilating, deep breathing, are helpful for some. But I hope that's not the only tool you have as there are SO MANY effective treatments available now, oxygen, imitrex etc. Give us a rundown on you self! How long you've had CH, what has and hasn't worked, maybe we can help you out a bit!
