Question....anyone suffer from exertion headaches? If so how do you deal?

I'm already prone to migraines as it is, but it seems as if nowadays I can't get through a tournament/extended period of playing without ending up with a whopping migraine. It affects my playing sometimes and most of the time puts me out of commission for the rest of the day after VB is over...usually I take migrane medicine and just go to bed. At first when I started getting them I thought maybe it was a combo of being overheated/dehydrated, but then I played in a few indoor tournments this winter, and I would say 2 out of 3 times I ended up with one. I drink plenty of water/gatorade, so I know it's not that.

Anyone have any suggestions? I couldn't get a doctors appt. till May 7th, and I'm planning on playing in 2 doubles tourney between now and then.
