Does anyone get severe headaches when they run?I do everday, but im not a person who will just go home because I have a headache and I don't know what I should do.Im 11 and I have high blood pressure but I drink water all the time.So I dont think I would be dehydrated.I get them during gym whenever we run, especially during the daytime, and they last for at least an hour and My face gets extremely red.Ive had this problem for almost a year and its getting worse.I think Im going to quit sports, because i dont have the time do deal with this for hours of the day.Does anyone else have this problem?And should I see a doctor, Im really not sure?

hmmm..,i wonder,how intense do you run..
mayby you overdoing it..,seeing doc would be good idea..,one specialized in sports would be good choice..,he prolly can test you,while running..indoor too.
as you describe it,seems that your bloodflow in your face and brain,doesnt flow as it should,that would explain the higher presure too..,anyway i think you should go see a doc.

You really should see a doctor just to be sure all is okay. But I wanted to tell you that I've suffered a similar problem my entire life. I get beat red when I run. I get headaches 80% of the time. I have perfect blood pressure.I'm in my 30s and I normally jog three days a week. My docs say all is okay. This is just the way I am. So, this might just be you. But please get checked out to be sure.

you should go to the doctor as having high blood pressure at 11 is a little young. i would ask him about the
headaches they could be from the elevated bp but you definitly need to go to the doctor i would slow down on the running until you see him.

I have the same thing!!!!! everytime i run, i would get dizzy and have headaches, my couch told me to not sit down right after i finish running because it makes you get headaches and feel like throwing up, you should stay standing and walk a little until you feel better, but if it doesnt work, see a doctor

If you have high blood pressure at only 11 years old, Honey, then you should see a doctor. Talk with your parents.
Good luck!

You need to stop running till you find out what is going on, sounds like really high blood presure. See a Dr.

I think you need to talk to your mother ,I also think you may have low blood sugar level ,try to eat a healthy low GI carbohydrate like ,grain bread a yogurt or fruit ,a banana before you exercise and see if that helps and slow down a little when you feel it coming on.

I get those very often.Don't worry you won't need to see a doctor.Try not to bounce when you run.Then when you do get home prop yourself up at about a 70 degree angle turn off the lights and turn on the TV quietly.

oh my gosh i have the same problem, and i know what you mean. but giving up sports is not the answer and you for sure tell you docter because you proable have asma or something, but when i told the docter i found out i didnt sweat and so i became overweight, but my docter said to keep doing sports so i did and i got better with it and now im under weight

Have you discussed this with your parents? If you're eleven, and have high blood pressure, I think that a doctor's visit is in order.
