What Causes Severe Headache After Working Out In A Gym?
hello , I started working out in the gym, the last 3x I was in the gym I woke up the next day with a headache. At first I took motrin, but then the headache came back the next day because I went to the gym. I do not want to be popping motrin everytime I go to the gym, that might be about 4 to 5 times a week.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to hypoglycaemia. Your food intake won't be enough after your work out. Take glucose drinks if you have tiredness while work out. Taking excess protein with low carbohydrate at dinner also gives hypoglycaemia in early morning. So take enough carbohydrates also at dinner. This will decrease episode of hypoglycaemia and head ache.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
