ok this may be weird, but if anyone has any insight, i'd appreciate it.
i have migraines. bad migraines and literally constant tinnitus and also this thing (which is a form of migraine i'm quite sure, given it appears with aura, but it can also appear alongside a traditional pain migraine) ... this thing where it feels like there's pressure in my head pushing out from the inside. pulsating. a bit like standing next to a speaker — you know the push of air? — but on the inside of my head.
and it's really bad in the bathroom, almost unbearable.
but if husband opens a window, the pressure mostly goes. and the tinnitus GETS SO MUCH WORSE, but that's actually preferable to the pressure being worse.
we've experimented now and opening a window anywhere in the house reduces the pressure (but increases the tinnitus). so i'm now starting to wonder if it could be some weird combination of migraine + negative pressure in the house?? plus possibly intracranial hypertension, as that's been speculated too.
we do have a mechanical ventilation system (common in france), so maybe it's not pulling in enough fresh air for what it pushes out?
does this ... sound familiar to anyone?

At the science museum in Toronto I went into an anechoic chamber. Practically zero sound. There was immediately a very uncomfortable - almost painful - pressure in my ears.
The bathroom being small may have a lot to do with it.
