Nauthiz Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Anyone notice headaches after working out / lifting weights? I seem to always get them its kind of a pressure headache/deep aching. I also get a bit fogged out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikainorlando Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Honestly....after any real activity I get very ill. I am sitting here feeling awful...I triedd to do some swimming with my kids and I now even on my toprol my hr is 117...altho I don't even have to have the increased hr to feel awful...the key to feeling bad is activity.. The key feeling better is no activity and laying flat.............then the cycle starts again. Someone on here smarter than I can tell you why...but yes..I get get headaches...pressure in my head..my nose runs...I shake feel so weak I can't even stand...after activity..Erika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I get a spike in my "ever-present" headache with any exertion. Exercise, stairs, lifting groceries, etc. all will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I get a nastier headache than I usually have, and my legs and arms will get tremors. I have to go up stairs in my fitness club to get to the treadmills, and that alone can leave me breathless! If I'm working out on a particular day, I know I can't do much more than come back home and rest for an hour or more. Once in a while, though, I can work out and still feel fairly decent. Hope this happens to you, too!Cheers,Jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddm1960 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I have wet dreams about being able to lift again someday.........lol. It's what I miss the most about having POTS. At first I fought hard to not give in and created an all sitting workout routine, but the holding pressure it takes to workout just wiped me out. I don't last 5 minutes trying to lift, I was dizzy, weak, shaky and sick to my stomach. Not sure if lifting and dysautonomia will ever mix.

erik Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I get windows where I can exercise, but I end up with a headache for a day or two after. In the past, I've ended up fully zonked... or nicely envigorated! Other than that vague pattern, I've not a lot to add other than "I feel your pain".
