headaches!!@#$%

[jsonbrent]

so on tuesday I was doing squats and on my last rep I got a lil light-headed...i racked it and then i got a wicked headache....only lasted a minute or so....so I think that perhaps i wasnt breathing properly and made my bp take a abnormal jump.....so i take it easy yesterday.....today i go in and warm up.....everything is fine....then i get to my heavy set and 5 reps in i get this screaming heaache....felt like my head was going to explode.....i was breathing properly this time...tho i was pushing really hard.......am i about to die? lol.......should i just take it easy for a few days and gradually work back into the heavy stuff......the headache is almost gone now....so it only lasted 15-20 minutes.....maybe i strained a blood vesel in my head?

Personally i dont know myself, but it doesnt sound good lol - remember you can lose a leg or an arm but u cant live if your head explodes...

[jsonbrent]

yeah well......i didnt think it was anything good.....bt i fel better and i lifted a bit last night and i as ok.....so i think i'll just lighten it up for a bit then work slowy into the heavy stuff

i used to get that feeling from improper beathing on certain movements and the feeling in my head felt like i was having an aneurism, not that i have ever had one but i can imaigine thats what it would feel like.

Proper breathing is very important. I do feel some dizziness if I don't breath while I'm liffting.

If you search the archives theres actually a thread where i posted about a splitting headache i had that was nonstop for a few months. I forget whet exactly the doctor said i did , but it boiled down to i majorly strained something in my head between my skull and brains. It was bad.....but like the doctor said....it went away by itself.

Mabe I'm going too extreeme but is that close to haveing an anurism? That is scary. I know when my bp gets high I have them but they last for an hour or 2.
Very fusterating.
Also I know when taking suppliments tren/dbol ECT that it caused headaces in me.

i had 1 more a few days after.......then that was it........i think it was exertion......a 20 repper squat......hah........so i was probably pushing down in my gut and not breathing properly hurt the ole brain......i took 1 week off then started back slow.....concentrating on my breathing.......all better......its been a while and im lifting heavier than before.......
