exercise and head pain

[fref]

I do lots of exercise, but when I do the sit against a wall where you support yourself without a chair,,,after a couple of minutes I get a servere head ache, starting at the back of my head and really throbbing, I have to stand up immediately, then after a couple of minuets it goes away, I have also experienced this pain during sexual activity, but not everytime.
Is it because my legs are bent and circulation is restricted,,and gets transfered to my head,I have high blood pressure, but its under control with medications.

Hello,

This headache that you are having is an exertional headache.They are a group of headache syndromes, which are associated with some physical activity. These headaches typically become severe very quickly after a strenuous activity such as weight lifting or sexual intercourse.

It is important to get an MRI head and MRA brain in exertional headaches to rule out any underlying organic cause.Sometimes it is associated with migraine.You can take some anti-inflammatory pain killer like acetaminophen or aspirin. Some patients are particularly responsive to indomethacin also.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
