I train with an age group team. Our normal Saturday practices are in a pool around 85º and for 2 hours. The practices may not be hugely high in yardage but very high in intensity. I normally have chronic headaches and lately I've been getting migraines after these Sat practices. I don't know if it's the heat of the pool for the long time or the intensity. I talked to the coach today about getting out after 90 min as I find that helps. He mentioned upping my fluid and nutrition intake. What should I up and what else can I do to avoid the migraines? They are making for very boring weekends for my family as I lay on the couch in pain.
Anyone use marijuana to treat help migraines (that wants to admit to it, anyway)?
Like I said, my migraines stopped in my teens....
I haven't myself read of marijuana being used medically to treat migraines, but it seems perfectly plausible. Is there any evidence out there?
I would speculate that if you became a complete high-on you would never have another migraine. It might hurt your swimming career though.
Incidentally, I guess the other major change to my lifestyle was that I had given up swimming in my teens so maybe swimming really does cause migraines for some?
