Thanks for posting!

On a commercial flight from KS to Dallas @ 32K it felt like someone stuck a hot needle in my forehead right above my right eye. I've had nearly a dozen broken bones, burns, concussion, stitches etc... and this TOOK my BREATH away. I went to the restroom to see if a vein had blown in my eye or if I had a bruise where it had popped under the skin. Had never heard of "barotrauma" and was glad to get an answer because I was a little freaked (my younger sister just had a stroke).
