Exercise induced headache?

[littledrop]

Hello, fellow runners! I have a quick question for you:

How soon does a headache have to begin for it to be classed as exercise induced? I frequently develop headaches an hour or two after my morning run, and I'm getting a bit concerned! Today's headache sent me to bed for a couple of hours earlier this afternoon, and it's only just beginning to lift (thank you, codeine!).

I plan to see my doctor, but I thought I'd ask here, too. Does anybody else experience this? Have you found any way to overcome it?

Maybe focus on drinking water before bed as well and see if it helps?

I think it did. I've upped my water consumption considerably thanks to the advice here. Litres of the stuff, not glasses. :) And ... no headache!

Thank you!
