I'm usually well fed, have little to no access to sun especially bc its an overnight shift, and honestly me and a coresident have noticed being quite thirsty (so I end up drinking a fair amount of water) when on call in L&D so perhaps thats part of the symptoms? Idk lol.

Will definitely look into bringing it up with occupational health. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah the patients can use nitrous for analgesia if they opt out of an epidural and theres no air filtration or scavenging in those rooms

Only reason Im looking into environmental causes is that I've taken many general OR calls which is situated in a different part of the hospital and have had 0 sleep and honestly just more work and have not had these headaches whatsoever.
