A member asked:
Should i exercise during a migraine? i heard that exercise could help a tension headache. could it also relieve a migraine?

This is a mixed bag: Some patients definitely get worse with exercise until the headache is resolved, but some find aerobic exercise in the end is a protective result. Suggest you see which category is you, as it may actually alleviate substantially.
