Exertion headaches, sometimes also called exercise-induced headaches, are a type of head pain which comes on suddenly after physical exertion, such as exercise or sexual intercourse.
Theories of why exertion brings on headache include dehydration, changes in blood pressure and heart rate, and body mechanics (how you are physically holding your body).
But to get to the bottom of the problem, you first need to find out what is causing your pain. Headaches have many causes, or "triggers." These may include foods, environmental stimuli (noises, lights, stress, etc.) and/or behaviors (insomnia, excessive exercise, blood sugar changes, etc.). About 5 percent of all headaches are warning signals caused by physical problems.
Ninety-five percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These types of headaches are not caused by disease. The headache itself is the primary concern.
What Can You Do?In addition, the ACA and its Council on Nutrition suggest you avoid the following food "triggers":
Avoid the exertion and learn to relax. If headaches persist and interfere with your life, see a doctor.
This could be a benign exertion headache. For proper diagnosis and treatment, see your doctor or Headache Specialist.
