Headache
by walter77, Dec 17, 2007 12:25AM
Hi, i have been having severe headaches in the back lower left of my head. The headaches usually only occur when i am working out or exercising. There is no bump of any sort or swelling but they head aches are very severe and last for about 30 minutes.
At first when i started getting them taking an Advil or other pain medication similar would get rid of the pain, but now it seems to have very little affect. I'm wondering what might be causing these headaches and also what I can do to get them to stop. Also the pain doesn't seem to be spreading but every time i get the headache it is only to the far back left side.

Headaches can be precipitated by physical exercise known and are known as exertional headaches.
Please make sure that you maintain hydration during and after exercise. At the moment cut down on all heavy physical exercise. Also all exercises should be done under medical supervision.
Headaches post workout are not uncommon and usually respond to the conventional OTC painkillers. What you need to do is maintain adequate hydration and drink plenty of fluids to compensate for the fluid loss during the workouts. Plus all workout training should be done under supervision. Get a complete clinical evaluation done by a physician and discuss with him whether you can go ahead with the training exercises. You also need to replace the salts that you loose with the workouts. See to it that you do not have hypoglycemia after the workouts.
