OK so not entirely related to weight loss - but figured if i put this under the 'fitness' tab its kind of related!
Lately, for the last week or so, I have had pretty much constant headaches. It feels like my brain is too big for my head (LOL!) what i really mean is my head feels like its throbbing and about to burst! :ohwell: silly i know!!! also feeling very lethargic and wanting to sleep a lot.
any tips!!??
thanks!

are you limiting your unsaturated fat intake? Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for brain function. And our body can't produce them, so if you don't eat any...
course it could also be dehydration too. Are you getting enough water?
That's 2 off the top of my head.0 -

Always wise to check with your doctor as well in case it's something that needs to be checked out further.:flowerforyou:

Did you go from drinking caffine to absolutely no caffine?! That can be a BIG source of awful headaches for a week to two weeks as well.0

I like what SBHboss 1673 wrote, it really could be that you are over doing , lack ing omega 3/fatty acids and a biggie is not enough water,if it's been over a week go to your family doctor- you just may never know...
Good Luck!0 -

Read a similar problem on another thread- ended up being a CO2 problem- gas leak in the house. Check this, just to be safe, especially if they are worse in the house. Also, are you on a computer often?0

gosh a c02 leak thats scary! thankfully my housemate is feeling fine!
yes, i do spend a lot of time on the computer writing essays for school - im sure that doesnt help!0 -
I use to get constant headaches and then had an allergy test and found out that I am allergic to milk! Since I have limited my milk the headaches and stomach aches have gone away. I never would have figured it out on my own. This may not be what is happening to you, but if it isn't diet or exercise related maybe see your doctor and get an allergy test done.0
