Headaches and class. Can you relate?

[Karatedrifter7]

I developed a massive headache tonight right before Kenpo, I had it all the way through. I did all the exercises and didint complain, but man! I told my instructor about it before the class, he did a pressure point move, but it didint help. I acted like it did though. Perhaps I have a bug? Anybody with similar experiences lately?

Have you had a physical lately, specifically one where they took your blood pressure?

 

[Karatedrifter7]

No I havent. Why do you ask?

 

[Kacey]

Spikes in blood pressure can cause increased pressure in the brain, which causes pain. Exercise can be a trigger for such spikes. Inexplicable pain anywhere is a cause for concern; an inexplicable headache is cause for greater concern than pain in many other body parts.

When in doubt, see a doctor; better to see one unnecessarily than to not go when something could be caught early and more easily dealt with.
