Am now at 25 mins which I need to repeat this week. Have had an ocular migraine about half an hour after my run is this the exercise that’s caused it? Anyone else had this? X

I have ocular migraine from time to time. From my experience I don’t think exercise triggers it although stress can be a trigger. I find 15 minutes sitting quietly and it goes, although I have also simple worked through it.

Hi, I'm new to this group & a migraine sufferer I did a search & read yr post. I hope the migraines haven't been frequent & got in the way if yr running. I'm guessing you've graduated now. Exercise can be a migraine trigger for me & I have learnt where my limits are with certain sports & activities I enjoy. I am doing the 25 min run tomorrow & will hopefully be OK. This article by the migraine trust is really worth a read & includes some good tips on how to avoid exercise migraine.
