Headache after running

    Ok, so I've been running for near on two years now; sometimes very early in the morning. I went for one before breakfast (7am). I've been doing this for the last three weeks - Mon, Wed, Fri - but I went for a longer distance (6km) today.

    I got a massive headache half way through the run - is this normal? I used to get them after a heavy going football training but not in the last while.

    I drank enough fluids and all the stuff I've been doing - and it only went away after I slowed down for about 10mins.
    What's the story there - anyone else get them while running ?

    It may be worth getting your blood pressure checked. An increase in blood pressure is normal with physical activity. But if the blood pressure increase is abnormal a pressure headache maybe your body's way of telling you to get it checked out.

    If your resting BP is normal the fact that it dissipated when you slowed down is a good thing but may indicate that you might need a stress test. One way or another a stop with your GP is in order ASAP.

    That is very unfortunate and I honestly did not mean to offend you but I would have though most doctors are well qualified and good at their job. Apologies.

    Apologie accepted!but that did hit a very very soft spot you must understand,i know you were not to know,but i would only make a statement like this or any simular statements if i didnt have something to back it up.
    Thanks for the Apologie!
