Somewhat in order of action:

check if I am clenching jaw/grinding my teeth, relax shoulders and neck, center my thoughts, lower blood pressure and pulse
thoroughly flush sinuses (like spend 20 minutes or more at least)
drink lots of water/electrolytes and caffeine
reduce sensory input: dark quiet room with comfortable seating
double dose of Sudafed and Diclofenac sodium
jump into traffic
