Headaches??

[User20205]

a bit of a weird one really, but has anyone have any experience of golf related headaches?

The last few rounds, I've had a headache afterwards? Not a blinding headache but a gentle nagging one that lasts a few hours.

I try to drink a bottle of water, and also eat something ( today it was a snickers :thup

It's not every round but probably 1 in 3 at present.

I'm thinking dehydration, but as is often pointed out on here it's hardly a marathon that I'm undertaking.

Can any experts help me??

I'm no expert, but I suspect its your playing partners who suffer the real headaches!

Cheers mate. I'm not really sure what I was thinking

I know rich gets migraines if he plays 36, maybe I'm getting a touch of the Leo's ???

Maybe I'm just getting old, I suspect you're an expert in that

At the moment i have them slightly - its done to lack of fluid and imo possibly a low sun which means you prob look directly into it more often that not

Have you had your eyes tested recently?

Who said that ? (Doesn't work online)

My eyes are good, I think!! It's an option tho'.

I'm going to read this and think I'm on my last legs

I also get a headache every time i have a round. ...mine usually starts when i get home though. ......

Could be neck related. I have a stiff neck & can hear it grind when I turn my shoulders & try to keep my head still.

Sure that's not earache?

@OP Does seem the sort of think that can be caused by lack of fluids/sustenance. A Snickers is hardly adequate!

A couple of Pints (I'm generally not driving to/from golf these days) and a Pasta meal refills my tank! Several cups of tea if you are a non-drinker.

The only other time I get them is when I have a lunchtime beer. I'm ok if I have a few!!! But one gives me a headache

I'm going to get some nuts and graze !!!

Probably the cold getting into your head. Have you tried growing some hair ? Failing that a proper Harris tweed flat cap.:thup

Cheers. My flat cap doesn't have ear muffs, and I think it ages me!!

Could I borrow some of your mane?? You seem to have some to spare.

If it is dehydration then it could also be low salt levels, sounds crazy but after a round try a packet of salted nuts or ready salted crisps. On my way to the course but will explain more later. 👍

That's odd. Whenever I've played with him he starts complaining of a migraine after only 5 or 6 holes

Try a bigger hat!

 

[Rooter]

My first thought was the cold. i get really bad headaches if out in the cold too long with no hat. Seems the cold air gets in my ears and must woosh around in all that empty space and create a vacuum of something...

Answer, wear a hat.

I get them all the time and its got worse since I started cycling.

I was just drinking water but its suggested some electrolytes are needed as well, I have just bought some of these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/high5-zero-electrolyte-drink-tablets/rp-prod42650

I am hoping they do the trick.

I am also going for an eye test in the next week.

Maybe your body is hungry? Cold air getting 'in' the ears? Sometimes I take aspirin prior to a round to head them off!

Mine too, if the cold wind has been biting at ya, getting in ya ears etc, i'm sure that this would have had some sort of impact.
