I was suffering from strong tension headaches, mild nausea, and trouble remembering only one thing - the name of the last show or movie I watched before going to sleep.
The nausea is now gone, and the symptoms have never worsened, but only improved. I use to exercise 4 times a week, down to once a week, and now only once every 2 weeks for the past 3 months. However, the symptoms still only appear after I exercise. The insomnia always and only begins the night after I exercise, and headaches last for about a week. Then I feel good, so I exercise a week later, and although they are not as strong as they once were, I'm still having these symptoms and it has been almost 6 months!!!
I know that blood pressure and heart rate should be closely monitored, but can you give me any useful advice or insight to my condition?
Thank you

Stop exercising until all your symptoms have gone!
