I call it my new shunt because next month it will have its two year milestone. My last one was with me for twenty-seven and a half years. I'm going to be flying back from Seattle that day.
There seems to be so much that affect this "new" shunt, especially changes in air pressure. I can get a nasty headache from flying, but I also call my shunt my own personal barometer. I can tell when even a rain storm is approaching.
I thought that would be the extent of it, until it started to get really hot and humid. With lots of heat and humidity comes a feeling of light-headedness that I haven't experienced before. It's for that reason I know I'm not experiencing anything Sun related. Besides at the time, I had only been sitting in the heat for ten minutes, and I had already prepared with SPF 30 sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses with UVB protection. I don't think the feeling was "all in my head" either.
