oxygen for hang or migrane??

[h90]

If that post is too silly mod please move it in the joke section.....

In Thailand at a Dive Center the staff (not diving staff, people take care the boats, tanks and so on, not instructor or DM) explained my wife that always drink heavily in the evening and when they hang badly in the morning the use the 100 % oxygen and it helps to recover. I couldnt understand if they use the first add oxygen or some they use to blend for nitrox.
They recommended for my wife who has sometimes migrane that I fill one tank with oxygen and when she gets migrane she takes oxygen 10 min.
Actually I don't really consider that but would be interested to know if anyone has ever heared about that.

It does appear to lessen the effects of a hang over albeit temporarily. Not idea about migraine.

Both situations mean no diving though!

Many years ago

I used to live in a house with 4 other divers, being young and foolish we would often go out and drink to excess. We also happen to have an account with the local Gas merchant and hence always had a G size medical oxygen cylinder in the corner of the living room. 4 medical masks on 5m hoses hanging off the regulator one on each lounge to deliver 100% O2 to the stricken patients.

Let me tell you there is NOTHING better for a hangover than an hour or so of Pure O2 in front of Sunday morning cartoons, followed by Eggs Benedict and a afternoon dive.

String: no worry they are no divers, nor my wife is.....
But interesting that this works.....

Oxygen and an IV... the best way to recover. If you don't have an IV, you go with watered-down gatorade

What really scares me is that I've heard stories of on-call surgeons coming in drunk and spending a few minutes on O2 so that they could operate on someone.

I can tell you from my flying days, there's nothing better than O2 after a long night of drinking beer and playing crud!

O2 is prescribed for certain types of migraines. If I am not mistaken the call them cluster migraines. While I was going to school I drove a medical O2 delivery truck and had a couple of patients that had O2 for that.

Cluster headaches. I've got them. High-flow O2 (12-14 L/min) delivered via a non-rebreather mask works as an abortive for many many people: http://clusterheadaches.com

Back in the Navy days we would dive all day, drink all night, get about 4 hours of sleep and dive all the next day again. If the partying got a bit out of hand 100% O2 in the chamber at 40 or 50 feet for an hour or two took care of the problem. :no

Like Myth Busters say; Don’t ever try this at home we were what you call professionals. :shakehead More like snotty nose kids wanting to mix work and fun.

Don't ever try that crap.
