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.

  • I get migraines. Mine are chronic and affect me on a daily basis but are treated and managed well with medication. Rarely I have to go to hospital, mostly for pain management but it is rare and doesn't happen too often.

    Mine affects both sides of my head especially the top/back and my neck. There's also numbness in my face. Maybe flashes of light as well sometimes. Brightness and loud sounds make the migraines worse for me. I find staying in bed the best thing until the migraine passes. Walking is a big no for me, makes it much more worse. Finding a comfortable position is hard to rest my head, very often it hurts to touch.

    It's all about finding what works for you. 

    I hope your symptoms go soon. Definitely get yourself checked by the GP but it's unlikely to be anything like a tumour. Much more likely to be a migraine and the effects of anxiety. A bad combo but at least you're not the only one.

    Feel better soon.

    Sorry about your migraines. I'm glad you've found something that works for you.

    I'm hoping my GP can help me with this today as well.

    Just something to help will make a difference for me.
