Headache less when under water

Has anybody else noticed that their headache is less intense when submerged in water?

Thinking that the water pressure may be equalising the pressure in my head.

My headaches are daily and vary in style and intensity as a result of concussion. Post accident for 2 years, so thought any damaged would have been repaired.

Never tried this but will do. Had bi for 19 years and headaches are still as bad.

Just got to work out how to survive under water.

I was going to try with a snorkel. I cannot go scuba diving as my doctor has already said she would not pass me as fit for the medical.

Snorkel will work...May have to live in the bath.

I am only half joking as if it relieves the headaches I would give it a go.
