Migraines and too loose bands
Can wearing too loose of a band cause or exacerbate migraines? I was having one a couple days ago and it would not leave, and since I was feeling awful I was wearing one of my Torrid bralettes, which are too big in the band for me. I wasn't feeling anything in my shoulders, but do you think this would have contributed to it? I haven't had one in a while and I don't want to make them any worse. 🙁

I found these to be spot on, but each person varies.

It is entirely possible that it acts as a catalyst to a migraine. For me, lights and dehydration are the main factors, with skipping a meal and stress being close behind. I know a man who gets them when he eats bananas or chocolate. No other foods, just those two.
I have had great luck with doing the following *at first sign of a migraine*:
Close your eyes and put your head down (think preschool nap time) for 10 to 20 minutes in a quiet/dark room, blocking out as much light as possible. If I do that it usually passes within that time. I don't open my eyes until the auric squiggles disappear.
If I don't (or can't) do this it goes from auras and pain to full blown debilitating head crushing death for 12 hours to 3 days........
Alas, I feel your pain
I've experienced pain in between my shoulderblades and up into my jaw from a too-loose band (more so than in my shoulders where you'd expect it to be) so, seems possible
