Last Saturday and today (Thursday) after intense workouts with my trainer I've suddenly had wavy vision, unable to see properly for about 20 min. I sat and drank water, ate something and gradually felt better. I went home and relaxed afterwards.

I've had this years ago before a migraine headache, but not like this after exercise and without the headache.


Note - Age 38, exercising since November, with a trainer 2 x week since Febuary

    I used to have a problem like this and it was as simple as making sure I'm VERY well hydrated before a workout. Make sure you're drinking lots of water before hand, not RIGHT before as to have all that in your stomach but for long periods of time. It really helped me!

    I would definitely make it a point to ask your PT or family doctor. It could be nothing, or something serious in the long run. Better to know than not.

    :bigsmile: Try to keep some sliced apples or something with sugar in it for after. It will wake you up again, who knows you might need that.

    When I hit it hard, I get the aura and optical migraine symptoms for the first few, then they go away.

    I havent had one in a while, hope I am not jinxing it!!:wink:
