Oboe and Health issues

Author: Theyoungoboist
Date: 2011-04-19 04:04

So today I had an unfortunate oboe playing incident. I played a passage too long without breathing, became extremely light headed and actually fainted. I woke up on top of my oboe with a cracked reed. :(

I have had a history of fainting in my lifetime (along with migraines) so I might be more prone to this sort of thing. As far as I can tell my oboe is ok, and I'm fine besides a small bump on my forehead. The nurse did all the tests and they were fine. I would just like to prevent as many physical issues in my playing career as possible.

I've heard that the oboe can cause problems because of the high pressure? I'm not exactly sure about the details and was wondering if anyone else knew. Also, are there any other heath issues that can arise from playing the oboe or any other instrument for that manner?

Thanks,
TYO
