Can someone explain to me why (the science behind why) head pain/pressure and ear pain/pressure shows up with exercise?
Today (after a failed attempt to return to exercise a couple months ago) I tried 10 slow/medium paced minutes on the recumbent bike. I tried because I've had two weeks of consistent improvements, and I'm facing intense physiotherapy soon, wanted to begin conditioning even if at a slow pace.
My heart rate only got to about 120 if that... Hovered mostly at 106.
Like come on that's not even exercising IMO.
ANYWAY, glorious PCS showed up with head and ear pain and high pressure. Why does this happen?
I'm frustrated and in that mood, where I need to know WHY.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.
NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.
