@jg_lrd I have had a super similar experience! My entire life since middle school, I got migraines after exercising very regularly. It was frustratingly hard to predict, because I’d often feel just fine during the workout, and then a migraine would just come on suddenly, even when I hadn’t felt overheated or exhausted.
Then by chance I joined a gym that used a heart rate monitor, and within like a week I could see very cleeelt that if my heart rate stayed above a threshold for too long, it would trigger a migraine very reliably.
This gym had monitors up where you could see your heart rate, so I could easily and quickly see when I got too high and immediately rest.
My exercise migraines decreased significantly. I actually was able to lose weight finally and build muscle. I felt like I got my life back. I do still get them sometimes, but usually when an exercise space is too hot. But overall the frequency is way down and I feel much more in control.
