stadium headaches??

stadium headaches??

Ok rather random indeed, but I want to know if this is just me or not.

After going to games at the stadium I come away with a headache, not too bad at first, but get home say an hour later and its quite bad to the point gotta pop a couple of the old nurofen. I don't think its the loudness in general as I go to plenty of concerts etc and can handle these fine but its always after I go to the stadium, I'm not generally prone to headaches either.

So does anyone else have this happen to them? I have a feeling it may have something to do with the acoustics of the stadium? Or am I just being a complete softc**k hahaha.

BTW! Alcohol induced headaches are not counted :) lol

Try sitting closer to the pitch. Leaning forward slightly whilst standing/ sitting for 90 mintues might be upsetting your neck (and casuing tension headaches). Just a guess. . .

Yes, it's called a football headache, directly proportional to the amount of yelling you do.  DOn't worry, they fade in time...

I find that drinking a half dozen beers and yelling at the top of my voice raises my blood pressure and leads to a throbbing pain in my head - I usually leave with a headache as well.

Same here... most matches.

Needs a couple of large waters and an hour or so before it's right.

Do you wear sunnies to the game?

Is your wife with you at the game?? If so, that's your reason! Leave the missus at home works a treat!!

i get headaches at the stadium when in the aisles where the sun is in your face.the answer is sit in the yf zone as the sun is always further round

it's probably because you saw the pants of boys....

You appear to be suffering from a common case of Football Withdrawal Syndrome.

I got the mad case of it at the last nix game! Ended up popping some nurofen and drinking a sh*t load of water, made it ten times better!

You doing that gives me a sore head as well!

I got one at the All Whites match, but I'm used to them (neck injury = daily headaches). Maybe it's because it's leading into summer, make sure you keep hydrated. Tui doesn't count :P

Sorry monkeyboy, I think you're just soft. loyalgunner2007-11-22 15:31:14

lol, some nice advice in there, yeaaah I'm pretty soft hahaha, might try out the old sunnys, a sh*t load of water and a couple of nurofen before the next game 

I think the sunnies are what give a head ache, at least for me

Mine doesn't tend to kick in until the next morning.

Try taking a Borrocca before you go to the game or as soon as possible after it.

take ear plugs bro

it's not the headaches, it's the heartaches


cure - more wins

It sounds like dehydration (honestly). Wear a hat and drink lots and lots of water, don't worry about the nurophen. Make sure you drink the water before you think you need it (like thinking the time is when the headaches start). Drinking booze would be no good as it tends to dehydrate you.

That's always been my theory... feels like the worst hangover.

Just do what James Dean does and drink right through until Sunday night, that way your headache is delayed until work on Monday and you can pull a sicky
