Face Coverings Triggering Migraines?
Hi all
Apologies if this has been asked, but I can’t find anything in the search bar
I wondered if anyone has experienced worsening migraines since having to wear PPE? I’m a healthcare worker so I am unfortunately spending my days in PPE but this has coincided with longer lasting and more intense (and impossible to manage) migraines. My GP has now put me on beta blockers and believes my PPE is responsible. I’m feeling totally fed up with the world we are living in, but now my job and the… read more
Yes. I work at a library two days a week for four hours a day. Cant stand these things. Feel dehydrated and the straps hurt. Get migraines because of them.
Yes my migraines and headaches are definitely worse from wearing ppe unfortunately. Its because of the pressure on my face for me. For example wearing my glasses or a hat too long hurts my head as well. We all want to stay safe from covid so masks are a must, it just stinks that it hurts us more. I have found that the surgical masks, while still being pretty protective, affect my head less than many of the other mask types. Hope this helps!
Yes, I have heard many people complain that wearing a PPE, causing their migraines to flare. I don’t wear mine except shopping and I do that rarely. But I have a friend that gets very sick with a migraine after wearing a mask for as littles as 20 minutes.
Hope you can find a solution. Have you tried a face shield?
I'm with you. I'm totally fed up w/the world we are living in also I am 64 so I have what to compare about how our country used to be. I am in the retail grocery industry, so I also have to wear a mask. I haven't had any problems, but I'm wondering are you permitted to wear the new ones that cover like a mask but are clear? If not hopefully you are under the care of a neurologist & he or she can advise you. Thank you for all you do!
Yes I also find this to be true, I can’t wear certain goggles because they are too tight around my head and cause more head pain so I wear a pair that are larger and adjustable. Also if I’m wearing an adjustable mask I make sure the ear straps are not too tight.
