OCsunshine Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I have noticed that I get more headaches in the summer. Being out in the hot weather is sure to bring on a headache for me, usually leading to a migraine.Part of the problem may be the sun, as my pupils are always dilated (weird, I know). But i do wear good quality polarized wrap around sunglasses that help a lot. But the heat just GETS to me and causes that headache that ruins the rest of my day and probably a few days afterwards.Another friend of mine gets headaches when the weather is cold, but that makes more sense b/c when you're cold you shiver and your muscles are tense. That seems logical to me. But in the heat? Why do I get headaches from hot summer days?Anybody else have this problem? Any suggestions?

JenniferInOhio Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I don't think I get "heat headaches." I think mine are "sun/bright light headaches."Sunglasses seem to help, but not much. If I'm out in the sun for a few hours, even with sunglasses, I usually get a headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meliss446 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I tend to feel worse in the heat, and I think it is due to vasodilation. That in turn causes headaches for me, so that could be a contributing factor as to why you get head aches when it is warm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I think we get dehydrated too. Extra water, salt and cooling vest help me, but what really helps is staying inside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukkychrm42 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I get them too, and it tends to coincide with lots of nausea... this isn't recent though... it's been my whole life. I have pretty nasty memories of throwing up places with massive headaches in the summertime. Pretty much the only thing that helps me is getting COLD, and maybe gatorade.

Jacquie802 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Since the weather has been getting nicer out I have been getting headaches. It's not very hot yet, but once the warm weather comes, more symptoms start to come along!Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
