Headache after soldering?!
Question: Hey guys, i have just been soldering, just a small stuff-usb sticks. I soldered in my room as usually and i left the window closed. Now i have a terrible terrible headache. Do u think this is because the fumes? I am quite worried and i dont want to risk my health because of some stupid soldering.

Yeah bro. Its the soldering. The fumes from both the solder and flux are sufficient to cause headaches. And during the heating process, the solder pops and tosses a small, heated flux droplet into the air. Wear eye protection at all times. A burnt finger may get better in a week but you only get one pair of eyes.
Tip: Solder in a well vetilated area and use a small fan to direct the fumes away from your workpiece.
Good Luck and Stay Safe!
It is because of the fumes. My husband had the same problem when he was soldering some pipes in our basement. Try to get some fresh air, it iwll likely go away soon.
Yeah, get to some fresh air and it should go away. In the future use a fume vacuum, or at the very least a fan, when soldering.
