Blurred Vision, Shaking, Then a Headache After Exercise

[mori0043]

Hi, I am 31, in good condition and I exercise regularily.

Every once in a while I will exercise and after I am done I will shake (mostly my hands), then about an hour or two after I will have blurred vision (i cannot read, watch tv etc...) and then I will have a severe headache for a day or two.

At first I thought that it was because I wasn't eating or drinking enough water before, but I have tried everything and I cannot figure out the pattern. The only thing that I know is that it happens when I exercise too much. The problem is that I never know when that point is.

Can someone please help?????

Thanks in advance.

I have had the exact same experience twice this week.  Both after strenuous walks.  My vision was so blurred I could barely see.  Like lots of white lights.  And the first time I almost passed out.  I have HBP and thought it might be a dip in the pressure because I had started exercising and might not need the same dosage of medication.  Now, I am not sure.  A headache followed both occurences.

I too experience this phenomenon, I have had it happen to me in high school up to my current age which is 25. Usually after intense exercise is when it occurs, I do not believe it can be related to the foods that are eaten as I am on a very strict diet and I drink about a gallon of water or more a day. I have come to think that the issue could be related to blood pressure or a malformed vein or artery in the head or neck. One other possibility is light sensitivity runs in my family and I experience it occassionally, I have wondered if this could be one of the causes as well.

If anyone has found a cure or found exactly what causes this please let me know and if I find out anymore I will post it here as well.

Find a new doctor and get a second opinion.

If they give you the same answer get them to explain exactly how not enough water can cause your symptoms.
