Sharp shooting pain above right eye whilst landing..
I haven't really queried this before as I thought it was a one off but now I am slightly phased by this as I have a Class 1 medical coming up and am anxious for things to run smoothly!
In my current office job I travel as a Pax which can be shorthaul and long haul. In July I took a vacation to Egypt and about 15 mins before landing and and 5 mins before touch down I experienced this excruicating pain just above my 'right eye'.
There was no pain in my ears but an extremely shap shooting pain just above of where the eye socket begins, as though someone had taken a pin and pushed it from outside into arteries above my eye socket. It was so bad that I was clutching my eye.
This same pain also repeated itself when I was a pax on board a Ryanair Flight to Dublin whilst descending for landing. It didnt last as long as last time.
I think my ear did pop though.
Any ideas what could cause this? Pressurisation?
Thanks
