exercise

I know it sounds impossible, but I often wondered what would happen if I exersised during an attack. I finally got the nerve to try it yesterday, though it was the last thing I felt like doing with a painful headache. I jumped on my bicycle and went for a ride for a couple miles. By the time I got home the pain was greatly reduced, much faster than normal. I suppose the increased blood flow may open up constricted blood vessels. Any thoughts on this or has anyone tried something similar?
