My sessions mostly end with terrible headaches.
Anyone have similar experiences or any tips how to prevent that?

Dehydration?
-
That ain’t good. Only when you skate?

I think everything but my head hurts after a session. ;) Are you drinking enough water bud?

Like others said before I would guess dehydration as well. You could be missing electrolytes like magnesium etc. Dehydrated heavily as a young grom one time and it was really awful. Other reasons might be some muscular tension in the shoulders, neck and yaw. I had some issues after skating "hard" after a whole day in front of a desk without starting slowly enough. Again this might be correlated with dehydration. Dehydration really fucks one up.

No, not only when I skate. Even when I work for 4 hours.
I was born with a auditory perception disorder, so I always make sure to drink at least 2,5 litres water. A lot of concentration is needed when I skate, because that shit is insanely hard for me. But muscular tension, especially in the neck makes sense. Thanks pals, love ya all.

Used to get migraines every few weeks- prob stress related. Acupuncture helped me a lot.

there's studies being done regarding the efficacy of LSD and psilocybin as treatment for cluster headaches and migraines

this are just a couple links, but as someone who has dated a person with severe headache issues (and who also believes that mushrooms can do wonderful work including neurogenesis), i find it of interest.
Also, I'm thinking about your auditory condition and, seeing as ENT are connected, I'm wondering if you're clenching your teeth/jaw while skating or doing other activities? TMJ fucks people up. cranial sacral therapy is a type of bodywork that relieves compression and pressure from the sacrum (low back), spine, and bones of the head. Homie, if you can find a skilled practitioner it could be a game changer. Cranial osteopathy is something else I'm interested in trying. Best of luck amigo

i just had something similar that was a dull pain by my right eyebrow and it would be aggravated by skating/jumping around. turns out i had a little sinus infection from spring time allergies filling me up. its probably dehydration but i thought this could help
mushrooms and acid wont hurt either tho
-
Maybe you are pushing yourself too hard and your body is not ready for that. Skate less time per session than you do and see if it helps
When I got back to skating I would get horrible headaches aswell and I figured out I was skating too much and my body wasn't used to that anymore. Now that I got back skating regularly the headaches are gone.

For me, its mostly dehydration, skating to long without breaks and the weather.
Season changing is also a hard time for me because the air is full of pollen dust. At least where I live.
CBD oil 15% always helps for me and yea.. taking a break eat a banana and drink a lot water.

How old are you?
I noticed I started to get dizzy real easily skating mini ramps in my late 30s. As you get older your equilibrium changes. Maybe something similar is happening to you.
Keep a journal if it’s not apparent when the headaches come on. Maybe certain spots or tricks make you sick.
I’d like to hear from you again in a month. Keep us posted.

I am 30.
It got better with the headaches. A lot of water, breaks, banana and candy help too. We will see how it will be this weekend when it gets warmer again.
And spots with a lot of people around.. Well that stresses me and I feel a tension in my neck and shoulders. I still prefer my solo sessions at Ikea garage over any skatepark. I am a bit socially awkward.
But thanks ya all pals. Much love.
