Question: I have experienced Migraines immediately after working out in a gym on weight...

Answer:

Dear Sir:
Migraineurs can develop exercise-induced Migraines and headaches years after the original problem begins. Have you measured your blood pressure before and after exercise? It should increase, not decrease. What do you use to treat your Migraines? If your usual Migraine medicine works for your ordinary Migraines, try a dose before exercising, after checking with your doctor.
Good luck,
John Claude Krusz
