Why am I experiencing increased throbbing headaches during light exercise even though my brain MRI was normal and I have been taking Tryptomer for two and a half months, and do I need to get any more tests done?
What you are experiencing could be primary exertional headaches, where light exercise temporarily increases blood flow and pressure in your brain's blood vessels, triggering throbbing pain. While Tryptomer (amitriptyline) is excellent for preventing headaches, it may take time to optimize the dose, or we may need to look at your hydration and warm-up routines. Since your MRI was clear, further imaging is likely unnecessary, but I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor to review your amitriptyline dosage and safely manage these exercise triggers.
