I don't run a temperature. It happened in the winter and when I ride at night

That's rare. I had sinus surgery in '91. A neurologist who looked at my x-rays years later told me that my sinuses looked okay back then. The surgery made no difference.

Finding no cause is common. Nausea happens with migraine. I had those as a child. Fortunately I grew out of them. I remember how awful they were.

I've had them for nearly a year. CAT scan turned up nothing. The physicians tell me I'm healthy; they have the data to back it up.

I bought the tools. When I have nothing better to do, as is the case when pain stops me, I check. I feel my pulse throbbing, but my BP is the same (90/60). I feel feverish but my temperature is normal (97.4, for me). I think I'm not getting enough oxygen so try to hyperventilate, but my spO2 is normal... Condemned to health!

Congratulations for playing deep left field! Aorta okay - had a Doppler a couple of years ago.

I agree, why I'm submitting to the BF panel for my diagnosis.

Yes. I've had it for 20 years, put > 100K on it.

You can make almost any bike fit with a longer seat post and handlebar post. Most people are adult size at age 18.
I'd think a ride on a badly-fitting bike would ache immediately, not 12 hours later - don't you-all?
Physicians aren't interested in you unless you have something obvious. The last thing I want to do when my head hurts so badly is subject myself to the torture of the urgent care clinic or, worse, the ER. I'd rather die. So I can only go after I've recovered, but then have nothing to report.
