acupuncture migraine headaches - After exercise headache - more serious than you think?
After exercise headache - more serious than you think?
It's surprisingly common - you're exercising, everything's fine,
and then POW - a headache strikes! Or, sometimes, a headache
hits while you're exercising. Is it just a minor annoyance? Or
could it be a signal that something serious is going on? Should
you go to the doctor, or just shrug it off?
If you already suffer from headaches or migraine, it may just be
that your exercise is starting the headache chain-reaction. In
that case, it's important to look at the overall picture and
make sure you're getting the treatment you need for headaches.
Your doctor may recommend a pain killer to take just before you
exercise, to stop the pain before it starts. In the case of
migraine, this is called an "effort migraine", and it's very
common. A throbbing headache in the back of your head may be an
"exertion headache", which again usually requires some pain
killers and is not serious.

But after exercise headache can be a warning that something
serious is going on. As a general rule of thumb, if you get a
new headache after you exercise, you should see a doctor right
away. Any sudden change when it comes to headache could be a
sign of something serious, so don't wait.
Some of the more serious headaches have to do with the blood
vessels in the head. A headache after exercise could indicate an
abnormality in the blood vessels themselves, or could warn you
of a brain hemorrhage (or haemorrhage) (blood flow when blood
vessels break).
If you're exercising in the heat and begin to have sore muscles,
difficulty breathing, and dizziness along with headache, you
could be experiencing early signs of heat exhaustion or heat
stroke. You'll soon be past helping yourself, but friends will
need to make sure your body is cooled off quickly.
Of course, everyone is afraid of brain tumours. Tumours (tumors)
are very rare, so don't panic at the first sign of headache.
Unlike typical headaches, these generally get worse over the
course of several weeks, and are usually worse in the morning.
They get worse when you exercise, and almost always include
other symptoms, such as blurred vision, unsteadiness or
weakness. Again, if you get a new headache, see your doctor
right away. You want to catch these things as early as possible.

Here are some other things that may tip you off that your
exercise headache is very serious: - You have injured your head
in the past - You experience paralysis or a tingling sensation -
Your neck is stiff - You're waking up at night with pain - The
headache isn't going away - You're experiencing other symptoms
elsewhere - Any other change in symptoms
Remember, even if you have other symptoms, it may not be an
immediate problem. But it's worth it to talk to your doctor and
remove all doubt. Even if it's not a sign of another disease,
dealing with the pain will help you benefit more from exercise
and your relaxing time too. Your health is worth it!

First of all, are you on a prescription for your migraines? If not Excedrin Migraine is the best OTC medicine for migraines. Use cold compresses to your head where it hurts. Lay down in a dark, cold room. Stay hydrated, and wait it out. I know they are horrible to live with. I take Firocet and Phenegran for my migraines and they help a lot. Good Luck!

for that period of time. Or you can buy these cold strip for migraines
Place them on your forehead, that keep it cool.

A migraine is a splitting headache that just seems to set in

As advanced as science is, and with all the remedies on the
market, nobody yet has been able to determine the exact cause of
