Pounding Headache from Exercise?

How much water were you drinking? Usually for me, this happens when I need to drink more. If I get the pounding headache, drinking gatorade usually helps. :)

I am willing to bet that is what the issue is after reading your addition... Caffine is a dehydrator, so that would make it even worse. Especially eating only cheese! LOL! I would reccomend that before you exercise, drink a glass of water (Smart water is really good... tastes like regular water, but has electrolytes added to help keep you hydrated.) Take water with you during your exercise, and afterward drink another glass along with a protien... even if it is just a protien bar. It may feel like you are undoing your work, but the protien is needed to allow your body to build muscle (which will replace fat...)

Good luck!!! :)

I think you hit the nail on the head with the eating. You need to fuel your exercise.

If you're going to do something like walking (which usually is done at a lower rate) you can eat pretty much anything you want. Don't forget to hydrate! That can lead to headaches too.

I get headaches when I am dehydrated....drink drink drink your water = )

Are you consuming enough electrolytes? I always get a headache the first day of working out (if i haven't worked out in a while) and usually a lowfat or sugar free drink does the trick for me. I hope it gets better! Having a headache that pounding sounds like torture!

Make sure you have your blood pressure checked. As we mature we can look and feel great, but that blood pressure can sure creep up on you.

i think most likely only having coffee and a piece of cheese could be your answer but just a few weeks ago a lot of people were suffering from headaches..i had one last night..didn't realize my right side of my nose was stuffed up..so i used some Xclear nose spray and it went away..i had it bad a few weeks ago and i went to a masseuse and she totally got rid of it..perhaps you weren't getting enough air or it could have been a fluke..but try not to only just have coffee w/out food..also check and see how your neck feels ..sometimes neck/back pain leads to headaches..

hope it goes away
