Racing Goggles and Migraine Headaches

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....

  • A J, since you describe these headaches as connected to racing, I assume you don't have them after regular workouts. What goggles do you use during practice? Why not race with them? I wear Women's Speedo Vanquisher for racing and Lane Four Selene goggles in practice. I am not sure the Selene goggles would stay on during a dive, since they rest on and above my brow, but I love them because they have very soft rubber around the eyes and do not leave ring marks. Selene goggles never give me headaches.
