    Did the Cork Marathon last week and ever since I have had pretty bad headaches. Its a constant pain all around my head sometimes getting worse in certain parts.

    Anyone have this before?

    Did you fully rehydrate after as dehydration can cause headaches. Did you do a marathon before?

    Yeah took plenty of fluids on board, even a couple of dioralyte after. This was was second but pushed myself a bit more.

    If I had the symptoms you highlight I'd have been to a GP by now.

    I never post on these health issues threads, but sounds to me like the only place you should be looking for answers is with a doctor. And - without wishing to alarm you - soon.

    Best get it checked out I would imagine, to be on the safe side.

    To be sure of what? That you're not wasting 50 euro on what could be a life threatening condition? As others have said dehydration would be the usual cause but not this long after the marathon. You've had those headaches 9 days now. Need to get checked out ASAP
