Consult a CHEK Practitioner. These guys use corrective exercise methods often looking at the mechanics of the spine and how it relates to the system as a whole. Could be like a trapped nerve or something (I'm not an expert, but I went to a CHEK guy for a problem i had once). Where are you based?

Primary exertional headache. It's very common.
Caveat: There are some rare but dangerous conditions that resemble primary exertional headache. Since this is a new kind of headache for you, you may decide to consult your physician, who may refer you to a neurologist, who can rule out dangerous conditions. But try not to worry too much, as you very probably have primary exertional headache, which, though painful and unpleasant, won't do any long-lasting harm to your health.
Gradually decrease your caffeine intake.
I should mention that I haven't been on any pre-workouts for several weeks, and only drink a glass of pop per day at most normally while some days none so my caffeine levels are likely very low.
Still, a glass of caffeinated soda pop per day could be enough caffeine to account for your headaches.
The main thing you should remember is these just started since Monday. I have taken double scoops of pre-workout before, loading up 370mg of caffeine before a workout and did not get these kinds of headaches.
Well, it may be taking a large dose of caffeine right before weight training prevented primary exertional headache. That caffeine may have blocked adenosine, the neurotransmitter chemical I believe causes primary exertional headache. But your neurochemistry adapts to caffeine by becoming more sensitive to adenosine. That sets you up for primary exertional headache.
If you're not a healthcare professional and haven't examined this person, don't give them medical advice. Because if you haven't met the criteria above, you are talking out of your ass
Shut up is no argument.
No I pointed out EXACTLY what was wrong with your advice. The fact that you are talking out of your ass, aren't a qualified healthcare professional and have never examined the person.
You're making a guess based off something you heard of before with no foundational knowledge.
You even told him to reduce his caffeine intake with absolutely no fucking clue if he even consumes caffeine.
That's talking out of your ass
You've said I'm not a qualified healthcare professional and I've never examined the OP, and alleged I'm making a guess and I'm talking out of my ass and I have no foundational knowledge and I have no fucking clue.
But those are all claims about me personally, not reasoned refutations of anything I said. That's ad hominem: attacking the person making the argument instead of attacking the argument.
Can you point out anything wrong with what I said? Not wrong with me, but with what I said?
Are the premises I used nonfactual? Is my reasoning from those premises invalid?
