After two years of technical training, I tried sparring for the first time and honestly, it was such a devastating experience. My opponent was super experienced, more muscled, and heavier. Probably, one of the top athletes in the gym. He had no mercy and I got so many punches.

Now, I have a bruise around my eye. But more painfully, I have headache over days. Is this normal and how to handle a headache after hard sparring/ fights?
