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.

    Headaches 

    Approximately 30% of those with PoTS have orthostatic headaches, which means they occur as a result of being upright and may be caused by reduced blood supply to the brain. Many with PoTS also have migraine type headaches.

    Since your headaches appear to link to when you are upright and walking it may be worth looking further into POTS. I believe it is more common in autistic people.
