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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
