Thank you for the information Heather. 
  
  Prior to working out this morning, I had already drink 64 ounces of ACV water and I had one diet soda. 
  
  Also this was the very first exercise. I remember thinking to myself when I was doing set one how easy it was. 
  
  Then I remember on set two thinking how much harder it was this time... that's about when the headache came on. 
  
  Maybe I wasn't breathing right?  Even then, that headache was over-the-top... I can't imagine that's what the cause was.
  
  I'm seeing my doctor in two hours.   I will let everyone know what he says.
