Fish Oil causes headache?
Hi everyone I know I dont post very much and when I do usually someone makes me look like an idiot.
Anyways,
I have searched everywhere and can not find a link between fish oil and headaches, yet everytime I take my fish oil supplement I get headaches that last hours on end. It is a pretty good company that makes the oil so I dont think its metal contaminants or anything.
I have never heard of too much EPA & DHA causing headaches so did I just get a bad batch of Salmon or is this a common link?
Anyone else have similar experience?
Fish oil induced headaches...
I recently started taking Berkeley & Jensen fish oil concentrate, 1000 mg with omega-3 fatty acids. These are softgels and not listed to contain any other vitamins.
I have detected slight headaches within 2 hours from taking them. My wife starting taking them at the same time and has given up on them since she noted rather severe headaches. I thought it was a coincidence that she claimed to have headaches from them but once I noted similar results, I was fairly convinced that it was no coincidence.
I plan to stop taking this brand and would be interested in any advice from anyone if they have found a "non-headache" brand. I started taking them after asking my doctor if it was a good idea and he suggested 1000 mg per day if I didn't routinely have 2 fish meals per week.
