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).
