After I finish SLDL's I feel slightly lightheaded and once i thought my head was going to honostly explode..

Anyone know why?

Did you do the valsalva maneuver (held your breath thru the lift)? That is a typical result of doing that.

Yeah, I would guess it is breathing related. It could also be related to low blood sugar levels.

I try not to "not" breathe but outta 5x5, I may forget to breathe because im thinkin about doing the right technique, i may forget to breathe once every set

Breathing is a major part of proper technique. The valsalva maneuver is an effective tool, but if you do it you have to realize your bp may increase and you may get lightheaded. It also helps to be doing it on purpose when it happens, that way if you get lighteheaded you know what it is from.

Could def be from low blood sugar as well.
