Headaches

Hello,
As a similar sufferer, might I suggest that you get your back checked out? I
suffer with very severe spinal trouble and I get similar headaches.
All the best,
John.

I have been hillwalking for several years and in the last year or so i
have noticed that following a walk (of any length) i often get an
incredibly severe headache. the type that only lying down with my eyes
shut will improve - not easy when i have to drive home. This usually
occurs about 30 mins to 1 hour after the end of the walk.

Anything to do with wearing glasses that aren't optimal at distance? It
doesn't take them to be much out to give me an eyestrain headache.

Equally, bright sun and no sunglasses can have the same effect.

I have the same problem. Finally came to the conclusion that it is some sort
of strain on the muscles of my neck. It was a long time before I could
figure that out, as it was brought on by all sorts of situations. For
example, position of the rucksack was an obvious cause, but I also found
that in wet or windy weather I would pull up the hood on my
waterproof/windproof coat and that altered the mechanics of my neck movement
in such a way that long walks caused me pain. Other times I found that a
bulky camera hung on my neck/shoulders caused the headache. It has got
worse as I have gotten older. Now I am quite good at avoiding situations
that cause these headaches. If all else fails I take 1 paracetamol if I
have the slightest suspicion that such a headache is coming, I noticed that
1 pill taken in time often avoids the need to take a lot more the following
day.

Hi All,

Something that has been puzzling me for a while now...

I have been hillwalking for several years and in the last year or so i
have noticed that following a walk (of any length) i often get an
incredibly severe headache. the type that only lying down with my eyes
shut will improve - not easy when i have to drive home. This usually
occurs about 30 mins to 1 hour after the end of the walk.

I originally thought that it may be dehydration, but even on a short walk
of 8 miles i can (dont need to) drink 3 litres of water and still have the
same problem.

Anyone experienced anything similar or have any ideas?

Have had the same problem myself. My advice is go and see a
chiroparctor, worked wonders for me.

Thanks for all your suggestions - this reminded me that when i was at
school i had a problem with my feet - they lean inwards slightly. This
makes me think that it could well be something that is out of line!

Will seek medical advise and see what happens.

Thanks again.
