Wondering if Exercise is the trigger for your Headaches 🤕 and Migraines 🤔


A common misconception amongst Headache and Migraine sufferers is that exercising 🏃‍♀️ will trigger or increase the incidence of Headaches and Migraines. However, this is not true. 🙅‍♂️ There is no information suggesting that exercise is a direct trigger for Headaches and Migraines.

Like many things in life, exercise 💪when done correctly and properly has many benefits, while done incorrectly and excessively can cause harm. If you had experienced an increase in Headaches or Migraines from exercising in past, it might have been due to the intensity of your exercise, poor posture or form during the exercise, and your levels of hydration and nutrient at the time of exercise. 😳

Any exercise done at an extremely high intensity, with poor form while dehydrated and hungry can be extremely harmful and may cause Headaches and Migraines to occur. 🤕But exercise done at a suitable moderate intensity, with good form, while well hydrated and well nourished will not trigger Headaches and Migraines! 😊In fact, exercising will actually increase your energy levels. In addition, exercising releases the hormone endorphin, which are natural pain killers to help you better manage your headaches and migraines! 🏋️‍♀️
