Make sure that you are drinking before, during and after your workout. If you are getting migraines, and be careful this is a specific kind of headache which is mistaken sometimes for other types, it can be triggered by many things. Keep a diary of when you get them, where the pain in you head is, the type of pain (constant, throbbing, knife insertion, etc.), any other anomolies (visual or smelling disturbances, nausea, vomiting), duration, and what helped. If they continue this will help your physician diagnose and help you. Daniel
