So I'm working out in the mornings around 9:30 and about 2 hours after I finish I start to get a headache. It happens any time I do extreme cardio. Like Athletic Conditioning or cycling or even running. I'm drinking plenty or water and even Gatorade. Why is this?

    A couple of questions:

    Any history of diabetes?

    What do you eat after a workout and how soon after you workout do you eat?

    I used to get really bad migraines from not breathing properly through my workouts...

    I think this may be the problem. I was just told this month that I have asthma so I have to use my inhaler before my workouts. but even during the cardio I'm still wheezing

    No no caffeine before workouts just a protein bar and water or Green Tea

    Yes Diabetes runs rapidly through my family. Another reason why I'm trying to live a healthy life.
    Most days after my workout I try to drink a protein shake but today I didn't
    I'll defiantly look into that

    I'd also suggest you test your blood sugar if you get another headache.
