I sometimes have migraine headaches, but I have reduced their incidence by taking 500 mg daily of magnesium, avoiding certain triggers and drinking more water. But one trigger I can't avoid is racing goggles...I still get headaches for two or three days after a meet because of the pressure tight goggles place below my brows. Anyone have any suggestions? I wear women's speedo racing goggles as loose as I can without them falling off....
This is a good suggestion and contracting muscles in my forehead sometimes gives me tension headaches, but I think the comment about the supra orbital neuralgia is what's happening. After I've had my goggles on that tight for a couple of races, I leave the meet feeling like that area is almost bruised. It feels sensitive at first and then progresses to an agonizing headache.
It sounds like what I get as well. When we have 2 hour practices, it's worse. If you find goggles, please let me know. I'd love to try some new ones out as well.
