Exercising shoulder and upper body triggers migraine


Quote  |  Reply

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum but wanted to talk about exercise triggering migraines. I've had migraines for all of my adult life (I'm in my mid 40s). I have a host of triggers with menopausal being one of the major triggers. Another trigger is when I exercise my upper body. I work out with a trainer 2x per week with one of the days focused on upper body. Any lifting or strain on my left shoulder causes a trigger for my migraines and it is becoming very frustrating. I have been to physical therapy for this issue for many months and need to get passed the pain to heal the shoulder. How can I do that when I suffer for a week after exercise. I've had a migraine going on 4 days now and have completely run out of medicine (Relpax).

Anyone experience the same thing? Help!!
