What causes headaches after exercise?

Generally speaking, anemia can cause the total amount of red blood cells in the blood circulating throughout the body to decrease to below normal values. During exercise, there are not enough red blood cells to transport nutrients and oxygen, leading to dizziness after exercise. When you do strenuous exercise, your body's blood vessels will dilate. If there is not a large amount of blood replenished at this time, it will lead to insufficient blood supply, which will aggravate dizziness.

There are many reasons for headaches after exercise. If the patient has just started running, the cause of the headache may be due to sudden exercise causing lack of oxygen to the head. Some patients may also suffer from headaches due to insufficient blood supply to the body. Some patients may also suffer from headaches after exercise due to rhinitis.

If patients experience headaches after exercise, it is best to warm up first, do some jogging and stretching exercises, and then start formal exercise. Or drink more sports drinks during exercise, such as Pulse, soda water, etc.

If the patient experiences headaches after exercise, it is best to eat a light diet. He can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins. He can also eat more fish, soybeans, lean meat, and animal liver to supplement vitamins.

The main symptoms of exertional migraine are as follows:

1. The main manifestation of exercise-induced migraine is focal neurological symptoms immediately after exercise, followed by nausea that lasts for a few minutes, and then a severe unilateral throbbing headache begins, which gradually eases after a few hours and may recur.

2. Migraine attacks caused by athletes exercising after a long period of quiet rest, or by athletes doing high-intensity exercises at various sporting events, including the Olympic Games, are called exercise-induced migraine. The incidence of this symptom is higher in plateau areas.

3. Athletes who have not participated in competitions for a long time may also experience sports headaches when participating in performance events that do not require excessive physical exertion, but focal neurological symptoms and vomiting occur less frequently. Some athletes may also experience exercise-induced migraine when the amount of exercise changes.

He can eat some nourishing foods such as red dates and white fungus soup, mushroom and black chicken soup.
