Exertion Headache

blank space

For a while I've been getting migraines and I think they now link to exertion headache as after I'm active like walking my head is throbbing and squeezing, usually at the back but can be all over. It lasts for a while most of the time but can be only a few minutes also sensitive to touch. I get a little giddy as well but that's about it no nausea or vomiting. I get it in the forehead as well which I'm sure is my migraine and anxiety. They seem to go together unfortunately.

I was wondering if anyone else here gets this?

And if you do what do you do to alleviate this? 

I mostly lay in bed and watch a movie and eventually it passes.

  • Perhaps I'm stating the obvious but are you staying sufficiently hydrated during and after exertion? Always take a bottle of water with you if you are going on a longer walk and also replenish fluids when you return home.

    The headaches I get are mainly tight band tension ones and one sided migraines. If I have a particularly stressful and noisy day I usually suffer for it over the next few days.

    I find relaxing in a quiet room with a cool flannel helps. Lavender gel on the forehead and temples is good for a tension headache.

    Thanks but don't worry I'm well hydrated. Sometimes I think I'm over hydrated actually but it could just be anxiety. I do get a lot of anxiety which in turn causes a great deal of unwanted symptoms like tingling across my head and face.

    I used a cool flannel earlier and it did help ease this for me.
