Somewhere between clicking pictures and feeding my cats, I found myself realizing that a headache was thumping its existence in my temples. Being a bit of a headache veteran I can tell which ache is happening due to my carelessness regarding my neck and which is a migraine and this headache had a massive potential to become a full-blown migraine, the kind that makes me want to regret existing.
I let it stay where it was to assess it a bit more and finally after finishing with the pics, cleaning the kitchen post-photography aftermath I made a small cup of tea and popped in a mild pill that I had been prescribed regarding my sports/exercise-related headaches. I hope it gets better with this or else Ima have to pull out a heavy hitter by night if this medicine isn't enough to take care of it.
The reason for today's ailment is pretty evident. It's hot. HOT! and I did a pretty strenuous workout in this heat. A fan alone wasn't enough and I have a history of exertion headaches. I remember my sports teacher always keeping a couple mild non-steroid anti-inflammatory medicines on him on those exceedingly hot days when I used to practice for high jumps and relays for hours before a sports meet. It doesn't happen as often now because I have learned to keep myself plenty hydrated and understood its mechanisms, but there are some rare days when I do get it. Today has been that day. Doesn't feel great.
