Anamnesis
A 34-year-old swimming instructor reports at least two episodes now of headache, whenever she wears her tight racing goggles for extended lap sessions, a headache develops within about forty minutes of putting them on. The pain settles exactly along the strap line pressing on her forehead rather than spreading elsewhere. It fades away within roughly an hour of loosening the strap and pulling the goggles off. She reports no nausea, no vomiting and no visual aura during these attacks, and nobody in her household suffers from recurring head pain.
