I was just about to post the same thing when I read this :)
I have breathed ozone until I was a little queasy, but I never had it give
me a headache, although I've had migraines from other things. (Heat,
dehydration, etc.) If I recall correctly, ozone can't combine well with
hemoglobin. So I suppose that if so much ordinary air was displaced by
ozone so that you weren't getting any air to your brain, you might get a
headache. But I think you might have other physical problems way before
your brain began to ache ;)

I'd look more for some sort of nitrogen-based agent that causes symptoms
such as headaches. These nitrogen compunds have a different smell that
ozone, btw. 
Run your coil for 2 seconds and stop. That's ozone.
Run your coil for one minute at full power. If you have a different smell
other than what you had after the 2 second run, there's more going on that
just ozone.  ;) Copper plasma vapors, Nitrogen-based acid vapors, vinyl
chlorides maybe, and who knows what else.

Bottom line: ventilate mightily.

Say...You're not drinking thick, sweet liqueur-based drinks are you?
They've given *me* 20 hour headaches before...;)
