I've been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for awhile now with no problems. Out of nowhere I have started getting constant headaches right at the base of my scull for about the last six weeks. When lifting, or running out it starts throbbing to the point I have to stop. I assumed it may be blood pressure but I had it checked and was told it was a little on the high side but nothing to worry about. Is this common on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), or is there something else I need to check?

ever, one thing that is guaranteed to bring migraines on in me is the traditional fat burners on the market today. There is not a single one that I can tolerate.
The worst thing you can do is become dependent on over the counter medications like Excedrin, because these types of medications (including narcotics, like Vicodin) have been shown to cause rebound headaches. Rebound headaches put you in a vicious cycle that often leads you to the emergency room. If you think you are stuck in rebound, you need to seek professional help to get out of it. It's very hard, I had to go through it myself.
If you get more than 3-4 migraines a month, it is worth considering taking a daily preventative. There are several now approved for use with migraines. Most are anti=seizure medications, and a few anti-depressants. Most cause weight gain
I know of one that typically causes weight loss.
Then you need to have a solid abortive medication for when you get a migraine. This is difficult because many of the "cures" are just as bad as the migraine. For me, I inject Toradol and DHE. That is the only thing that works for me now, but for years I had great success with the triptans. Any of these meds used in excess can cause either rebound/dependence or some pretty severe side effects.
As for working out with a migraine, I have never had any success. Cardio and weights both make my headache 10x worse. The absolute best is to try to sleep it off with ice on your head.
If anybody has more questions, or wants me to explain in greater depth, let me know.
