Is it normal that sometimes after vigerous exercise I get shimmery lights, sometimes followed by a headache. The exercises that I do are very dynamic and done at a high level of intensity. I drink alot of water before, durring and after exercise. I also eat 1 hour prior. Is this normal?

    you prolly get low blood pressure but yeah it's normal. Don't drink pure watter add lemon to it (it helps to hydrate faster) and what are you eating before exercising? and after?

      Thanks for the lemon tip - I will try it today. An hour before exercise I usually eat a spinach salad with lean protien of some sort; though I do skip the protien from time to time. Afterwards I typically eat some complex carbs with yogurt or nuts as a snack (about an hour or 2 after).

        eat your complex carbs before exercise (to get the energy for doing said exercise nuts and whatnot you can probably eat 1 hour to 2 hours before)and the protein after to repair any damage and build muscle mass

          Thank you for this. I will try it and let you know. BTW I tried the lemon & water thing and I felt a bit better (could be just me) but I will continue:)
