I feel a little stupid for asking, but...

I have 2 questions. #1 -

Why all of a sudden am I getting headaches during my cardio workout? Not enough water?

#2

I just realized I had a whole online world of people here to ask, where in the world can I find spaghetti squash? I have googled it, but I must not be looking in the right place. I don't know where its grown, or when its in season. I searched last year for it, but couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks for reading!

I do get headaches when I don't drink enough water - cardio or not; dehydration can cause headaches. But that might not be your problem.

I have never had difficulties finding spaghetti squash, with all the other produce at my grocery store. It's with the other squashes, near the onions and potatoes.

Could be dehydration or an issue with your blood pressure. You also could be over doing it. Try slowing down a bit and see if that helps. On question 2. I have no idea.

Spagetti squash is with all the other produce

The headaches, I have no idea except maybe what's already been mentioned. The spaghetti squash, I just get it in my produce section. Do you live in the U.S.?

I get vicious headaches when I do very intense cardio. I've tried everything--water, salt, ibuprofen/aspirin/acetaminophen etc... nothing works. I often am aware of the headache while sleeping. I would love to know if anyone has ways of handling this--I mostly just try not to over exert myself.

spaghetti squash is a winter squash. Unlike zucchini which I can buy year round, I only find spaghetti squash during fall and winter. Sometimes it's placed near thanksgiving displays in grocery stores. Near the gourds and pumpkins.

For the headache issue, is your breathing relatively regular during your cardio? I had headaches during cardio too, and the woman who heads up the class taught me controlled breathing. That seems to have fixed it!

The squash can be found with the other winter vegetables. It will hold for a long time! It's much easier to find during the fall and winter.

I'm no doctor but maybe you are dehydrated. Also, maybe your blood pressure raises from the intense cardio causing headaches? Drink lots of water and have proper warm up and cool down sessions. If it continues maybe see a doc

I am in Kansas City, Missouri and we get spaghetti squash every year. Actually there may still be some in the grocery stores right now. But mostly it is a late fall/winter food. When all the other squashes are in season. If you have any CSA's in your area (Community Supported Agriculture farms) you might contact them and see if anyone in your area is growing them. In the grocery stores, they will be around with the other squashes and potatoes and onions.. Good luck. I like them for a change every now and then. They do actually make a pretty good substitute for regular spaghetti.

For the headaches; I would suggest you to see your doctor. The only time i had that problem was because of high blood pressure. Not that i found out how to reduce it my head is fine.
Squash: With other vegetable... find an employee in your grocery store they can help!

spagetti squash is a winter veggie. It can be found w/ the other squash in the produce area. I think some farmer's markets may be able to have it year round.

I used to get terrible headaches after intense cardio sessions. I thought it was dehydration so I drank tons of water.
It still happened. Someone suggested that I eat more protein. I upped my protein intake and I've yet to get another workout related headache since.

Lack of oxygen to the brain from overexertion could cause headaches, as well as increased blood pressure. If you are concerned you should see if your doctor can arrange an exercise stress test for you to find out whether or not you have an underlying medical condition.

Are you thinking about the spaghetti squash during cardio? That may be giving you the headache. Otherwise, I am clueless.

For the headaches from the Mayo Clinic:

Primary exercise headaches
The exact cause of primary exercise headaches is unknown. One theory is that strenuous exercise dilates blood vessels inside the skull.

Secondary exercise headaches
Secondary exercise headaches are caused by an underlying problem, such as:

Bleeding in the area between the brain and the thin membranes that cover the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage)
Abnormalities in a blood vessel leading to or within the brain
Cancerous or noncancerous tumors
Obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid flow
Reduced blood flow in the arteries feeding the heart
Sinus infection

bcattoes

Common causes of headaches during cardio could be not enough water, too few calories to properly fuel the workout, lacking in a specific nutritient, or not enough sleep. PMS or TOM can also cause it. There are many other things it could be, but those are pretty common.

Spaghetti squash is a winter squash. I can find it at my grocery year round but since it's Spring here, it won't be local this time of year.

I get spaghetti squash all year long in the produce section of pretty much any of the grocery stores around me. I eat it a lot.

I always got splitting headaches doing a lot of pushups. Then I realized I wasn't breathing while I was doing the pushups. Once my body quit b*tching at me about not getting enough oxygen I was fine. Hypoxia or dehydration would be my first two guesses. If more water/working on breathing don't help, I'd suggest seeing a doctor.

allisonrinkel

I would talk to your doctor about the headaches just in case it's related to something else. I would also make sure you're getting lots of water.
As for the AMAZING spaghetti squash, I get mine year round at the grocery store, near the other squash and potatoes, etc. It's yellow and shaped kind of oval-like. There are zillions of recipes I've seen on Pinterest for it. Very tasty and healthy.

daybyday

I am in Iowa and still have spaghetti squash at the grocery store found with the other squash. However, fixed one the other day and didn't taste too good. Like a sour taste. I baked it in the oven in a casserole dish face down with water and the casserole dish broke. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not?? I threw the squash and the dish out :sad:

I find my spaghetti squash at my local Kroger produce area

If I get a headache during cardio, it is often due to lack of water, or the opposite: too much water too quick. Or my blood pressure.

Spaghetti squash early crops start showing up around late July and can last through November. In greenhouses, it can be grown year round. You might be able to find locally grown at a Farmer's market or CSA. You can also just grow your own spaghetti squash and then it's local and FREE.
