Subject: Workout with headache?
Today, on my way to the gym for cardio and weight training, I got the hiccups, which resulted in a lingering headache....still lingering.  I noticed during my workout that at times it got much worse and I had to back down the intensity....


What do y'all do for headaches if you dont have Excedrine on hand...take it easy or push through it?  I felt wimpy for backing down, but I was tring to listen to my body.

If its a little tiny twinge...i could probably push thru...but if its a full blown headache, no way I am back home with my head on a pillow with some Aleve until it goes away.

Use the pounding in my brain to set a good rhythm to run too. I usually swam though headaches, but even then I would take it pretty easy.

Workouts are usually the most effective way that I've found to get rid of my headaches.

X2

run or bike through one and it will usually go away, at least for me...

are you dehydrated?

depends on the kind of headache... if I get a sinus headache, usually going to the gym gets rid of it.  But if I have a migraine, doing anything (except lying in a darkened room) will make it worse.

unless i am dizzy or lightheaded or cant see right, I fnid the w/o helps the headache.

again, if your safety is in question, take it easy.

it it is just pain, work through it.
