Headache after play

Yea, I go to the arcade and play about one day a week for 45 minutes straight on Heavy. After I get done playing, I have a bad headache...anybody know what is causing this?

That used to happen to me all the time. I didn't do any research on it or anything, but someone told me it was because I was over-exerting myself. I could be wrong, though.

Could be a few causes... exercise can cause an increase in blood pressure, which could cause a headache... dehydration can also lead to headaches... or you could be getting stressed out over your scores, which would also give you a headache. Just in case it's #1, you might want to see a doctor, since that could be dangerous.

could be "over doing" it...yet I also think that you might need to drink some more water in duration of play, I mean your brain or head, whatever, needs to have some fluid, you know....it needs a form of refreshment....well that's what I think though....yet, maybe a break here and there may help...

Dehydration, most likely.

well, have you ever read any of those thingys that say the lights could hurt your eyes and cause crap like headaches? i used to get headaches from watching anything like that until i got my glasses. if you dont have any, MAYBE that could be the problem. if you do, you might need a new pair.

LOL yea that's funny. When I first started playing I thought I was nuts but I'm used to it now. Anyone see that picture where you look at Jesus for 30 seconds, close your eyes, and you see it? I guess it's like that. Staring at arrows for way too long.

Most likely I'm overdoing it...I tend to push myself way too hard with most things. (I down a pretty sizeable bottle of Gatorade each time I play so i don't that dehydration is a problem.) Alright, I'll just try to take a bit easier today. Thanks for your input!

dehydration.

Exercise should not give you a headache. Unless you are severly out of shape, in which case you should consult a physician and get approval for any stressful exercise.

Most likely dehydration. You should be drinking at least a quart an hour while playing DDR. Not soda, not gatorade, water. Gatorade is bad for long-term exercise, as you aren't taking in enough fluid overall to expel all the fun toxins you release during exercise.
I personally take a gallon jug of water with me every time I go to the arcade. I usually have to half fill it back up after two hours.

Same thing happens to me. Only its not a headache, its diarrhea.

Anyways, you might want to drink more water, or take a short break between each 5 games or so.

I usually just get a headache if I overdo it OR the volume is WAY too high on the machine.
