Headaches after sailing - dehydration?

You may want to try going for a gentle swim and a soak in a hot tub at the gym followed by some good stretches. If you’re like me you never remember to stretch at the boat park.

Could high blood pressure be a cause?

Hi All. Thanx for the replies. yes, I do wear sunglasses
- & will continue especially after reading the posts
recently about eye damage from too much UV.... No hat
though unless it's really beating down! You know, I
think this might be a combination of factors. Yep, I do
get stressed a bit & can sometimes get home with the
usual aches & also a stiff neck from keeping an eye on
the burgee... as for eating I always make sure I've had
a good breakfast . Talking to mates who do mountain
biking, a couple of them regularly get headaches after a
big ride & plenty of exercise, despite regular water
intake. I think I'll try the squash & pinch of salt
trick next time. Do you have any other recepies for this
sort of thing? Cheers!

I drink alot too and still get the headache.
Although the water I drink is the same water my hull is suposed to be floating on

If you also feel a bit cranky or impatient then could well be a hunger thing too.

I've found I get headaches even with lots of water, but isotonic drinks and seemingly more importantly food help greatly!
