Q: Unknown Problem

I recently started getting severe headaches when I physically stress myself. I lift weights everyday, and never had a problem until last wednesday the 15th of december. On that day I had to partake in a physical fitness test. I was performing push-ups, and was straining on my last one. My face got beat red, and my eyes blood shot. I then immediately had a severe headache. Since this day when I try to exert myself I get another headache. I would really like to know what you may think this is.

Hi,
i'm a natural therapist and I may be able to shed some light on your problem.

The fact is that when you strain, you hold your breath, when you hold your breath, oxygen is not finding its way to your body's cells as is needed.

Concentrate on your breathing whenever you try to exert yourself. Many people don't even realise that they hold their breath as they are too busy doing something else to notice that they are not breathing.

Try that and see how you go.
