If you work in an office building, I'd bet you $20 it's bad air. Air
conditioning doesn't ever really bring the CO2 levels down to the same as
outside air.

It's called a freudian slip.

Slip? Try *landslide*. o_O
Man, it's a good thing you can't sustain Freudian head-injuries from
this stuff...

That was my first thought too. Though, mine are "usually" triggered by
not drinking enough. Its notable that a) they can seem to fade, a bit,
after eating, especially if you didn't eat enough, and that accelerated
the problem, b) drinking water to rehydrate does **nothing** to stave it
off, and c) at least in my case, it can seem fairly bad, but not
horribly so, until I actually have to try to rest any, and then
*everything* drives me up the wall.
The prevention of these tends to be a) acetometiphin (I think its
called, and in Tylonol?) + caffeine. The caffeine effects blood flow in
the brain, so if you decrease intake, it takes a bit for your brain to
re-adjust. Basically, you end up creating one of the conditions that
**helps** create a migraine by going off it (oh, joy lol). Not sure what
the other does, but both are needed to deal with it. The **problem** is,
this combination will only work, and this has been tested medically, if
you take one *before* you get any symptoms at all, or *just as* you
start to notice the preliminary symptoms (which in my case is a stiff
neck and ache in the nerves there). If you take it after you have the
headache, it does absolutely nothing for you.
Given how easy it is, on my job, to dehydrate, I have made it a habit of
taking one before work, every day I work more than 4 hours. Its been
months since I had one. Where, before, I could get one 1-2 times a month.

Actually.. Could be bad lighting too. Some people are susceptible to the
flicker in florescent lights, whether working properly or not, though
not tends to be worse for those people. This can, and does, trigger
headaches in some people, and could go away, once "re-acclimated" to the
lighting. Since those types of lights are endemic in most offices, and
it only effects a small percentage of people, so no one has any plans to
fix it, it is not at all uncommon.

No it isn't. You may have noticed it early enough, relatively, and
treated it with food before it progressed to other symptoms. You can
have a cold virus with only a fever. Hypoglycaemia can also be a single
symptom of other things. And you did end up with the nausea after eating.
Three 9's odds, though, that it is just a headache. Speculation and
baselessness, get someone with a blood sugar meter to test ya first
thing in the morning.

Doesn't need to be no food for a month. Bet your diet changed while you
were off for a week, maybe had a few more snacks while on break? Extra
carbohydrates during the morning, maybe. The vacation gods will do that
to you, to remind you that you must obey them more often.

You might be right, we only use the air-con here during the summer months so
I'll remember to check this next time I get a headache at work. Given that
I usually take holidays in the summer, there probably was some point where I
returned back to an air-conditioned office and got a headache.

Another good point, if it's a dull day the office lights are way brighter
than any light from outside (if it's sunny you don't notice they're on, so
usually we keep them off to save power).
So it seems if the first day back in the office is a hot, dull day then I'm
screwed!

The nausia is probably explainable by the fact that I ate an utterly
*huge* meal. Pasta _usually_ leaves you feeling pretty bloated.

I'm not keen on the idea of shedding blood just to test a theory.

If anything, being off work probably means that I eat *less* than usual...

Meh... its only a little prick in the finger. My wife does it twice a
day. No big deal.
My "diagnosis" is possible sinus headache. I was going to say Migraine,
but with migraines, you would typically seek the dark and really not
want to eat; and usually from my experience migraines are like an
icepick through one eye with sound, light and smell making the nausea
10x worse. Food would certainly bounce back up if eaten.
