A member asked:
I have reflux i quit caffeine last friday. doc said i might experience headaches but it's been 10days nonstop and even light exercise sets it off. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Withdrawal : You are probably experiencing withdrawal symptoms from stopping the caffeine. Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor and exercising causes vasodilation which (opens up ur blood vessels) which can cause the headaches. Hang in there u will soon reap the benefits of no caffeine! :)
