Exercise makes a headache in progress worse, and you can see I don’t have that many windows of headache-free-ness. That said, if some modest amount of exercise would really help, it might be a net positive trade to make. That said, [citation needed].
Exercise has so many benefits, it’s hard for me to think of cases where it isn’t a positive trade. Increased agility and strength (..depending, hiking’s good), reduced mortality, at least in my case I think better with regular exercise, more energy overall..
I don’t consider myself an exercise maniac, but I do layout my vacations such that I can go hiking. It’s just plain enjoyable, especially with family.
As for your headaches.. thinking about it, it sounds like you’re indoor a lot. It may be a reaction to low oxygen content or generally bad air; have you tried just going outside when one starts? You don’t need to exercise, just.. sit outside. Though the benefit is questionable if you live in a city.

Yeah… talking to people who feel this way is very frustrating.

Today, before reading this comment, I sat in a park. My headache-of-the-day did not go away.
