Waiwera	Posted May 21st, 2009 at 11:10PM Its a warning signal from your body that would be a good idea to investigate... Perhaps see a doctor? Do you think you have high blood pressure? Rated: +2Vote for this!

WickedMa	Posted May 21st, 2009 at 8:51PM I would think a combination of the workout and dehydration , drinking water mayhelp following the runs. Rated: +1Vote for this!

giraffemooose	Posted May 21st, 2009 at 9:39PM I too was found to have an abnormal heart rhythm. My heart speeds up too fast too quickly. I was on a beta blocker for a while and it helped with all of my migraines, exercise-related or not. Rated: +1Vote for this!
allofus	Posted May 21st, 2009 at 11:50PM Migrains are very specific kind of headache and if you only get them after running or extensive excersise than your blood pressure is up way to high. The blood vessels in your brain can only take so much expanding and you are propably pushing this. You could have a number of things going wrong so yes a trip to your physician is much more prudent than the expert opions of us here at EP medical. Rated: +1Vote for this!
