What Causes Severe Headache While Working Out A New Exercise?

Your age: 32 Gender: female Activity level: pretty active. I lift weights regularly . Recently reintroduced cardio into my routine . Hi there . I have been lifting weights on and off for few years at this point. I started a new workout program last week. This particular program (lee labrada 12 weeks)requires shorter (60 sec) rests between sets and on the last set of each exercise (3 rd set), I have to go to failure. Couple days into this program I ve experienced a massive headache that struck when I was going to a failure on an exercise . It was unbearable and lasted about couple minutes with a mild headache that lasted for like the rest of the day . Next time I worked out same thing happened when I was going to a failure on squats . It was scary and came back every exercise that I used a good amount of weight on. I finished off with a light weight.same thing happened last time I worked out. Do you have any idea what s happening to me? I have a show in July I am prepping for. fitness is everything to me. I don t won t to stop working out. Is there any advise you can give me ?

Hi,

You should have your health check up for respiratory, cardiovascular systems. Similarly thyroid profile reports would find or exclude thyroid problems which can cause your problem. See your family physician to start with and then respective specialist as per need.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
