I get exertion migraines....migraines that come on after intense phyical efforts - like long fast bike rides in hot weather. Sometimes, 4 hours after the ride, my head will split open (okay, not really, but it certainly feels like it!) - nausea, sensitivity to light and sound. Ugh. I'll know it's coming on when I get this "hollowness" in me....like I feel like I'm really hungry, but I'm not. I generally drink 12 oz of Accelerade (a high-protein recovery drink) and start munching on the carbs after a ride to keep things in check. If all else fails, 600 mg of vitamin I (Ibuprofen) usually can do the trick.
