Post Running Headaches


Recommended Posts

Nice cut and paste Ace :wink: . However, none of these types of headache come on several hours post excercise.

I didn't post that....Go get your Levo-dopa refilled, and see an opthmatologist.... :roll: :wink:

26 y/o female c/o of severe pressure type headache 3-4 hours after jogging x 4 months. Recently headaches have become more severe with nausea and vomiting. Often pain is not relieved by Advil and/or Tylenol, headache dissipates only after sleep.

Medical history: Minor asthma

KNDA

Meds: Oral contraceptive, Ventolin prn (used rarely)

BP 120/80, HR 80 reg, RR 16

This may be a stumper...................

It's not common in this type of pt., but maybe sleep apnea...

That would answer the question why sleep resolves the pain because she may not be getting an adequate amount of sleep at night.

I'd also take a BS, and find out if she takes any supplements or a good amount of caffein. When did you take the BP in relation to the head ache and exercise?
