What happened today?

[r0dxx]

I was doing CGBP for my last set of 5 reps...I was inhaling deep on the negative, and breathing out the positive (both through my mouth). I didn't struggle too much until the last rep, and I had a spotter assisting me on the last rep.

I got off the bench and stood up and had a horrible headache (a weird one) and got nautious. I proceeded with my workout, and it was just kinda "there" in the back of my head and around my eyes. Kept throbbing in and out. I proceeded for the next hour with my workout (at my normal weights/reps). I'm now home and feel pretty decent after a shower, and don't really feel the headache too much anymore but I still do a feel it a little bit.

What happened?

Also I've had a clear MRI about 4-5 months ago, of my head, and I've had a EIH in the past from leg press. This felt a little different though. Not like a debilitating headache just a really weird nauseating one.

Thanks, in advance.

Did you hold your breath while benching? You can knock yourself out by doing that. Not to mention giving yourself a headache.

Well as I had stated, I was focusing on deep breaths in and out.

I had to make sure.

Maybe you pinched a nerve then?

was the headache located at only one side of the head? like only at the right or left? And was only one eye sore or both? If its only at one side it cud be migrains if sevre ones ud b sensitive to light thou.

If I was able to finish my workout, and feel decent right now...It couldn't have been anything too serious, right?

I don't know the exact spots, as I forgot...But It was a sudden onset, literally happened instantly.

Migrains can come and go whenever. Doesnt take much to trigger them, I used to suffer badly from them. If it is only on one side of the head and it hurts behind an eye and ur geting sensitive to light go c a doc to get it handled quickly. Cheeses are known to triger migrains but i dont suspect u eat that shit anyways.

The only weird thing I can think of that was different about today was when I was doing my set the sun was shining in my eyes from the window in the gym...But it seemed to happen from the exertion of my set.

I don't think it's serious, but you better keep out a watchful eye.

You got any problems with sinuses or allergic reactions to bites or something? Thats what happened to me - they hurt bad enough for me to go get an MRI - sorted itself out in the end. - good luck!

It's happened to me before too. A doctor told me I burst a blood vessel in my head.

Isn't that severe?

 

[JonnyStead]

Certainly sounds it - if you're worried I'd go get checked out...

I still feel the same "headache" today. 2.5 days later. Is that even possible?
