What should I do if I feel dizzy or have a headache after exercise?

Many people experience dizziness and headache after exercise. Many people don’t understand why this happens. Some experts say that headache after exercise may be a pathological symptom. If you exercise for too long or do not master the right exercise method, it will lead to long-term insufficient blood supply. This can easily lead to headache symptoms. Then why do some people feel fine after exercise while others suffer from headaches?

First, if you do not do warm-up exercises before exercise, the functions of internal organs such as the heart and lungs are not fully mobilized, especially the blood circulation in the whole body does not reach a high level, and nutrients and oxygen cannot be supplied to the body in time. The cerebral cortex is more sensitive to lack of nutrition, and dizziness often occurs when the supply is insufficient.

Second, some people lack exercise, have weak cardiopulmonary function, and their daily activities are also relatively light. If you suddenly engage in strenuous exercise and the amount of activity is too much, the functions of the various organs in the body cannot adapt to the needs of the strenuous exercise, and excessive mental tension occurs, causing dizziness.

Third, exercising for too long and not controlling the amount of exercise well, especially when the weather is too cold or you wear too few clothes, will cause excessive energy consumption in the body and a sharp drop in blood sugar concentration. When the brain and skin lack sufficient blood sugar, dizziness will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably control the exercise time and amount, rest in time after fatigue, and wear appropriate clothes when the weather is too cold. When doing strenuous training and competition, you should eat some sugary foods to increase the body's supply of heat.

Fourth, some sports such as running, football, gymnastics, high jump, and long jump, if the technical movements are not well mastered, the feet land too hard, or the heels land, or the ground is too hard, which vibrates the brain and causes dizziness.

Fifth, the breathing rhythm is not well controlled during exercise, the breathing is shallow, the body's oxygen supply is insufficient, and the body's oxygen deficiency causes dizziness.

The way to prevent this is to breathe deeply and forcefully during exercise, and coordinate your breathing rhythm with your exercise movements to allow the body to absorb more oxygen.

Sixth, people with neurasthenia, hypertension, anemia, chronic rhinitis, and chronic otitis media, these diseases themselves have symptoms of dizziness, and the dizziness may be more severe during exercise. This requires that you appropriately control the amount of exercise according to your physical condition and actively treat the primary disease.

If you have symptoms of headache after exercise, do you meet the symptoms mentioned above? To avoid symptoms of headache after exercise next time, you must follow the requirements mentioned above on time, otherwise it will harm your body. Friends who want to exercise can make a reasonable exercise plan according to their own situation.
