Massive Headache When I Workout



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone else gets really bad headaches when they work out?

It seems that the more intense the workout the more pressure I have on my temples. I almost feels as if I'm detoxing from something because I begin to shake and I can't control it. It makes me so mad :beer_yum: because I can go for a lot longer if it wasn't that I have to stop because of my head. I've been to the doctor and I'm not diabetic, I don't have a thyroid problem and except for my weight (270) I am in good health. Any suggestions?

:(

Divis :blink:

Drink more Water while you work out? Make sure to eat something right before too, if it's been a while since your last meal.

You either need to drink more or have something to eat before you work out. I didn't follow my own advice today and got really light head-headed during a training session. I think my problem was I didn't feel hungry. I guess I was always so used to REALLY feeling hunger during intense workouts from my pre-band days I didn't notice being low on fuel. I feel light headed. I made it through but instead of doing more cardio the trainer sent me home to have dinner. When I got home my legs were shaking and I just had to sit down. My husband brought me a piece of cheese and I was just about able to get my dinner together when it was ready. Ugh it was a horrible feeling. Next time I have a training session at that time I will make sure to get some fuel in even if I don't feel ready for a meal.

Thanks all I think it is that I don't eat before I work out. I just have Water and that's all but I need to start eating before as well. :)

BTW, Jachut my blood pressure is ok.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
