I get headaches after I work out, generally after a run. Is there a particular reason why that I'm missing? Any hints would be great :)

I am pretty new to the running deal, I've just started running this week.

    You may be dehydrating, that's a common cause. Or you may have vascular spasms. Drink lots of water before and after.

    It sounds like either you're dehydrated, or you're not cooling down your workout to slowly lower your heart rate. It could be a combination of both.

    Also try some magnesium supplementation.. women are often low, and low mag results in headache.
