I think this a post exercise headache. I don’t think it’s dehydration based, though I suppose it could be low blood sugar based…
I chugged oj right after had two toaster waffles with real maple syrup and several “stone ground wheat” crackers. Plus some protein powder. This headache had a late in the day onset. Google convinced me I have brain cancer (Not really), or that this may be a migraine (it does exacerbate my photosyensitivity and my aversion to noise. It’s also only on one side of my head. But it is not so debilitating as I thought migraines were. Sinuses?)
So am I being anorexic and thereby giving myself headaches? Just overdoing it with the running? Facing imminent death? Do I have a migraine problem? Sinus troubles? Or maybe it’s just stress…
i used to have low blood sugar headaches and sluggishness that wouldn’t get cured by eating sugar — that actually would make it worse, because the intake of sugar would trigger my pancreas to produce more insulin so even if my overall blood sugar was in normal range, i felt like i had low blood sugar because my insulin levels were too high. during these times, the only thing that really worked was to stop eating, drink a big glass of water with two ibuprofen, and a short nap (or a night’s sleep). then protein heavy dishes after.
Naw. My former trainer said that people were supposed to have a small amount of carbs before any cardiovascular/weight training. My guess is that you overexercised and got dehydrated.
You’re gonna die! 😉
I’m tending towards migraine. And not all migraines have to be huge debilitating ordeals. Many are fairly mild and merely annoyances. The fact that it’s unilateral is a significant flag.
But it could be the cancer. >:)

how was the workout?
i find the strenuous workout can bring on a headache, or even overheating for sure.
otherwise u should be fine, you’re not totally NOT eating, so… yeah.
