Deadlift headache

[The Red Dragon]

I was close to failing a heavy SLDL session and I laid down the weight then suddenly get an intense headache (back of the head) upon rising (while feeling disoriented and faint)? I still feel a minor headache hours after. What the heck was that? (I did lose control of the weight but I set it down safely)

if you still have it maybe you should see a doctor or nurse to get your obs done

there's only so much you can do from the net....it could be loads of things. the only one that will really know is a doc as none of us spent 6 years in medical school

how u feeling now? pain still there? whats its character/quality....anything before its onset like a tearing? any swelling or bruising in the area? does it spread or move anywhere, has pain medication alleviated it? if so what type of meds? anything made it worse, like coughing or tensing abs/doing a shit? how long has the burst of pain lasted for or is it constant, how severe is it?

any aura, or visual disturbance? hearing problems? blackout? tenderness over the area?

It was a pulsating pain (mild headache pain in the same area (Back of head)). It went away 5 hours after I woke up (took tylenol). It does reoccur. I'm just concerned because I had trouble sleeping last night and I have exams soon. I also feel a bit slower but that's probably because my sleep was messed up.

so what about the other specific questions i asked?

does it hurt worse in the mornings or when you cough/strain when pooping?

i'd go and see a doc if your that worried about it, its the only thing that will put your mind to rest
