Benching...think I hurt me head

Make sure you get your blood pressure checked from the Doc as soon as you can. You don't want a high blood pressure problem lingering.

When you hold your breath it will raise your blood pressure.....It's called the vasalva manuever. It's a temporary thing, but if your blood pressure is already high, you should avoid holding your breath until the Doc checks you out.

You could be sick to. Either way, go to the Doc and get checked.

i posted messages about this before, and noticed that others have as well, so i guess this is nothing new. it was an intense throbbing sensation on one side of my head that kept me from standing up.

sound familiar?

Yup - that's it, throbbing - but near the back of my head. After it happened I felt like sitting down with my head in my hands forever, but standing up and walking around made it go away faster...

I'm now getting a similar feeling when I do cardio too, ugh - what sort of dr would anyone recommend? Just a GP? In the past they have been pretty useless for me so I tend to just not go. Maybe I'll use this as an excuse to get a bunch of labs done.

Well bro, could also be a sign of overtraining. I used to work out 6 days a week for 2 hours at a time in high school (no wonder I hit a neverending plateau back then haha) and some times I would get this fuzzy feeling in my head and get dizzy every once in awhile. Also when I bent over I'd get a blood rush to the head and it sucked. Have never got it from training since, but I trained like that for almost 2 years. Looking back, I think it was a sure sign of overtraining.
