A member asked:

What can i do to prevent headaches that result after crunches and pushups?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exertional headache: Simple: don't do exercises that provoke increased pressure by exertion and thus a headache. Substitute with other, equally effective exercises. Trial and experience is the trick to learn what is good for you.
