I play basketball a few times a week. A
few hours after playing I sometimes become
really ill with severe flu-like symptoms.
I find that if I eat right after playing
it improves things a little. What causes
this and is there anything else I can do
to decrease the symptoms?
Thanks.

Which symptoms exactly, besides nausea,
you have hours after playing basketball?
For how long you are experiencing that
condition?
Does this subside or it is constantly
present?

The main symptom is severe headaches. The
headaches start an hour or so after I
finish playing and continue for several
hours. They gradually diminish after 4 or
5 hours. This happens every time I
exercise vigorously. If I eat immediately
after working out it's not as bad.
Thank you.

I guess you are experiencing primary
exercise headaches that occur most often
in young men in their 20s.
One of the reason for this headache can be
low blood sugar, as you noticed eating
after exercise can make headache less
intense. So, you can try a glucose tablete
before you begin, and then have a starchy
snack or better yet a full meal soon after
you finish (within an hour).
Do you suffer from migraine headache,
too?
Do you usually see flashing lights before
the actual headache?
