Exersion Headaches

Is anyone experiencing exersion headaches post-surgery?  I've just started getting back to the gym and I've been getting exersion headaches when I workout now.  I'm going to get another blood panel done to see if anything is low/high but I was wondering if anyone has any advise.  I take a tylenol after working out but the headache remains with me as a dull headache for several days.  I'm breathing thru my workout, getting plenty of protein in as well as water.

That was one other suggestion of what it could be...I starting take an additional iron supplement as well.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I had these really, really bad before surgery.  I haven't started running again now that I am post-op and some of that is my fear that the exertion migraines will start again. 

They are absolutely miserable.  For years, my doctor could not figure out how to prevent them. 

I had to cut back on running a few years ago which eventually made me stop all together.  I started running again last August, only to find myself 75 pounds heavier than my 2006 marathon weight. 

I trained for 3 months and had to back out because of the headaches and even moreso--the pain from all of that added weight.  I had VSG in January. 

Iron was never suggested to me...maybe now that I take vitamins (with iron) regularly, I will see a difference...here's to hoping!

I'd love to know if you find any difference with the iron or any other methods.  Good luck to you.

I never had the headaches before surgery.  But I've been taking the iron supplements and am still getting the headaches.  I'm going to see my surgeon tomorrow for my 4 month check up and follow up with my PCP about the order for blood work.
