yep i got that, i initially thought it was barodontalgia (to do with teeth), but after a visit to my GP before i flew to europe for a holiday (i'm going home tomorrow , great skiing i must say!)

He told me that it was barotrauma with my sinus (most likely), and to take a sudafed (cold and flew pill) starting about 24 hours before my flight, however, i really only took the sudafed about an hour before the descent..

i'm not sure if it was just a phase that i had, i'm not sure if the sudafed fixed it, but loaded with sudafed it never seemed to come!
