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....

When I was a kid I used to get terrible headaches and it was due to those big bug eye goggles that speedo used to make.
In my later youth I wore swedish goggles every session, with no problems. The most important thing is that goggles fit. My rule of thumb is that you should be able to fit them into your eye socket and they should stay on (obviously not swimming, or for very long) without straps.
Now I tend to wear speedsockets for training and racing. Again, because they fit...
