There are many ways to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines through behavioral changes. Exercise in the fresh air and endurance sports are important options. Individual case studies can help to better understand the importance of recreational sports and endurance training.
If you have made similar observations, such as..
- Regular endurance exercise leads to an improvement in migraines,
- Stressful situations can be balanced out through sporting activities,
And if you feel that such measures improve your headaches, then describe and comment on your observations and opinions.
According to my headache diary, there has (unfortunately) been a very clear trigger for my migraine attacks for many years: sport.
I have very often gotten migraines after jogging. Almost always about 4-5 hours after finishing my workout, despite adequate fluid and food intake.
I've been a migraine patient for 40 years, suffering from severe attacks that often last 3-4 days. While the attacks haven't become shorter during menopause, they are unfortunately still present, albeit with slightly reduced pain. In my experience, exercise such as walking, jogging, or, in the past, tennis, has
frequently triggered an attack. I still exercise, but always with the fear of triggering the next attack. Unfortunately, I've never been able to identify any clear, reproducible triggers.
