I have been experiencing post workout "migraines" occasionally, especially after an intense interval workout, one where I really exert myself for an hour or more...nothing on my long training days where it is mostly in zone 1-3.
It starts about 10-20 min after the workout. First thing is, for lack of a better description, partial blindness in both eyes. Really what it is is a squigly line across my vision, like a blindspot when you look at the sun, etc, but it is across both eyes. Gets to the point where I almost have no peripheral vision. This goes on for about 10-15 minutes, and then turns into a pretty harsh headache, specifically behind one eye or the other, but it is what I would describe as closer to a migraine than your standard headache. It generally lasts for a few hours. It doesnt happen after every workout, or even every week, maybe more like once a month or so, if that. But it is common enough for me to know what it is when it starts.
Yes, I know, go see a doctor....and I will, but I wanted to see if anybody here has dealt with something similar, and if it is truly something serious or not.
