Headache After Workout



Recommended Posts

Hey all, I don't know if anyone else experiences this but most days after I work out I get a headache. It's really only at the front of my head and it's not unbearable, just weird. My trainer says it might be that I'm dehydrated but I drink Water throughout. Anyone else have this issue?

Hello, i saw my nutritionist on Thursday and she said a headache is the first sign of dehydration. Drink up before you workout then replenish with Gatoraide (or the equivalent). If you still get headaches after a couple days of doing this, then see your doctor- PCP.

I would have also said dehydration. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink - drink before , during and after your workout. Plain Water is best.

Water is definitely best !

It could also be a high Blood Pressure after working out or high pulse rate, try drinking if that doesnt work its time to see the doctor :)

Definitely drink more Water. I used to get a lot of headaches pre-band but now I drink at least 2 litres a day, more if I am exercising, and I only get headaches now if I am really stressed at work.

eat more and drink more. i think u had that post about almost passing out at the gym. i used to have that happen all the time when was on phentermine. i ate like 800 calories a day and would then do turbo jam and just had absolutely no energy but would push myself and bam. if ur working out u need to eat more. i like intense workouts so i dont even have my band tight. its probably too loose but i need to take in more calories to compensate for what im burning

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
