Why Does My Head Hurt?

Today during swim practice we did an especially hard no-breathing swim set. It has been a while since I have done any cardio workout. The last time I swam was a couple months ago during water polo season. Inbetween the seasons I regularly worked out (pushups, pullups etc.) but like I said I didn t do any cardio. During the set I started blacking out and seeing spots but I pushed through and finished. Afterwards my head hurt like crazy but I still went through with practice feeling OK. Now, after practice, I realized that my head still hurts, albeit less than right after the set. What s going on??

Hello,

Your symptoms are justified by brain hypoxia during swimming exercises. You should rest for a couple of days in order to improve. Try not to repeat such efforts in order to prevent such symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
