I am grateful to read about this topic. I, too, get terrible head aches when I exercise and get over heated. It was a relief to hear that other people not only get this heat/exertion induced head ache, but that -- like me -- the head ache does not go away easily, even after one has stopped the activity, cooled down, and re-hydrated. I find that these head aches do not quit and do not really respond totally to analgesics. I usually carry the head ache with me the rest of the day and it does not go away until the next day at the earliest. I'm going on a hiking trip this summer and very worried that I will be plagued with these throughout the trip. So one thing that I read today is about the importance of hydrating BEFORE the activity begins. Not just a glass of water, but perhaps a serious and very heavy influx of liquids. So I am going to try that. Hoping I can figure this out. I very much want to enjoy my trip!
