In either case, if you continue to experience exercise headaches, you will want to seek medical attention so the cause of your discomfort can be determined.
How to stop exercise headaches?
If you determine that your exercise headaches occur at high altitudes or during the hot or humid weather, try exercising in lower altitudes and when the weather is cooler or more pleasant.
If you are overexerting yourself or performing strenuous exercise, you will want to tone down your workout or even avoid the strenuous activity altogether.
If you are not ready to give up such activity just yet, try warming up before your workouts to see if this will make a difference.
Some stretching and less strenuous exercise may make a big difference in how you feel after your workout.
