Does your Helmet fit properly ?
Serious Question.
Has anyone had any headaches or any other symptoms as a result of a bad fitting helmet. I am asking because I am experiencing some migranes/headaches in wierd places of late and come to think of it, its been happening since I got my current helmet last June !
Has anyone else had a similar tale to tell, or is it just me being odd :)
Your comments will be most welcome. I also have an appointment to see the doc again on Monday if anyone asks !

Usually a bad fitting helmet eg tight across forehead will give the wearer a headache

I've been fine with mine mate, but, it does make sense... if your lid is putting any particular pressure points on your head I can easy imagine it could cause headaches!

i lost a helmet once so to get home had to borrow one off a mate, it was way to small and by the time i got home i had the worst headache.
would not do it again

I agree, especially if the helmet you had just bought is made by a different manufacturers to your previous lid. For instance, my fat heed fits arai's and suomy's but not shoei's even though the size of the lids are technically the same.
Best to check in with the docs just in case anyway, see what the beef is.

When i got my 1st helmet, i sat in infront of the tv with it on to make sure it fitted properly and after about 45min i felt a pain in the back of my head and it got worse and caused me some pain, so i took it back and got a bigger size that fitted great, never had the same problems again
