dose any one else get head ach after a match or is it just me?

Dehydration or the glare off the water ~think ~think

Take some shades with you and a large bottle of water

Eye strain mate I get them every now and again, could be worse I’m suffering from a bit of vertigo at the the moment accompanied by dizzy spells, I nearly ended up in Pollawyn down at Whiteacres last week.

get your eyes tested mate i used to have the same problem and it was because i was short sighted once i got my glasses the headaches stopped

I very, very, very rarely get a headache. Once when I had mild sunstroke fishing a London Reservoir on the concrete banks from 6am to about 5pm 40 years ago and maybe 2 or 3 other times.

My mother used to say – no sense no feeling!

HI,agreer with red hydro,not drinking enough through the match is usually the cause of headaches for me,amazing when you cant find time to have a 1 minute drink during a 6 hour match????

yep i used to get frequent head aches after matches, got my eyes tested and im very slightly short sighted, optician also recommended i wear polarised glasses, so got some made to my prescription and they are fantastic, dont know how i coped without em b4!

and yeah drink plenty of water is also good advice, more so after a night on the pop!

also a cap in sunny weather will help!

Almost certainly dehydration. On a hot day drink at least 2L of water during the match. Could be eye strain too. Get some shade and/or hat. I used to suffer with head aches alot. Drinkeing plenty seemed to work best but I have some paracetamol and ibupfofen in my box just in case.

I normally have one before a match!!! …HIC!

matt,, i used to get em after every match without fail!!!
lee down at billy clarkes told me to get some polarised sun/glasses and it would sort me right out,, even offered to give me full refund if it dint work !!!
i aint had a headache since mate,,
mine only cost me £14,,, bargain !!!
make me look propper sexy n’all mate !!!
~sick ~sick ~sick

Water Water everywhere, not a drop to drink !

Not drinking enough (water) is IMO the most common reason for headaches whilst/after fishing.
