Is it normal to get a head ache and light headed after a workout?

Everytime I go to the gym to work out I get horrible head aches and dizzyness for an hour afterwards. I don't think it's dehydration because I drink 3-4 bottles a day and 1 while I'm excersising. Should I see a doctor or am I concerned over nothing? I should probably also state that I do brazilian Jujitsu during that time, so if anyone has experience with that they may be able to contribute insight.

    You might have low sugar and/or low salt levels in your body because of the exercising. Try drinking Gatorade before and after your activities.

    Contrary to popular belief - and what all the advertising suggests - drinking too much water can be bad for you too.
