I am 67 years old. I suffer from heavy head (not headache) after doing exercise. I have mild cervical spondylosis . After 45 years of age I have suffered from hypertension and had been for medication for High Blood Pressure. From 3 years I have been taking anti-asthmatic inhaler and continue to take it as of today. My Blood Pressure stays normal 80/120 these day but still I feel heavy head after exercise. Is it due to cervical spondylosis or due to any neurological issue. Can anything be done since I am keen to continue my exercise routine.
Hello!! Dear, Thanks for referring to Chat Doctor !! I have been through your query and completely understand your concern.*exercise does increase your blood pressure to a certain extent. It would be good if you measure your B. P during such episodes of headache. If you notice that B. P is above 160/90 then certainly it is a cause for concern.* If the B. P doesn't rise to such level then the reason for your headache could be strain to your neck muscles. Spondylosis aggravates the headache.Hence, try to avoid such exercises which put a lot of stress. Try doing neck exercises which relieve spondylosis. You shall be fine sir/madam. Hope I have helped you. TC thanks.with Best regards Chat Doctor.
