Hope Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I was just telling my husband yesterday that it doesn't seem to matter what symptom is bothering me (unless it's too much heat), it could be shortness of breath, or BP drops and feeling faint, high HR, digestive issues, shakes, whatever...if I have my Rice pack heated up moving around my body and a cold wet cloth doing the same thing alternately, I start feeling better. I don't know if it's helping the blood flow, or calming my nervous system or what, but those 2 things are my "go-to" for comfort and some relief. Just thought I'd share.

lfreem02 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Putting your feet in hot water while placing a cold pack on the back of the neck can help with migraines. I was also told by a nurse that putting an ice pack on the throat while putting a heating pad on the ears when having referred pain after tonsil surgery can help with pain. She said it confuses the nervous system. So, I can see how that could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
