I get a hormonal migraine headache before and after each of my menstrual cycles. I am also discouraged from exercising because I always get the same type of headache several hours after working out. Someone suggested starting very slowly, like 5 minutes on the treadmill 3x per week. I did my 5 minutes today (at 3MPH) and still got a headache this afternoon. Does anyone know if this is related to hormones. I want to exercise but can't deal with the headaches. This has been a problem for years.
