Head rush, can't breathe, just after bench...

[Snarling Force]

Anyone ever experience this? Today, it happened for the 2nd time. Happened a couple of weeks back too. My cycle just ended yesterday which you can see in my sig.

Its when I get towards the end of my sets and I go really heavy. I'll do 6-8 reps fine. Then when I stand up, I'll feel this tingling sensation in my chest, my head starts to get light, and I can't really breathe. I thought both times I was going to pass out but I remained calm and controlled my breathing and fought through it. I had my partner closely watch my breathing while I was doing my sets and he said my breathing is normal. Anyone have any ideas on what causes this and why it happens so infrequently? Am I just standing up too fast after the set?

Could be a blood rush. My friend always took a breather after a set by just sitting on the bench. He's a big fkn kid and lifts heavy, but his breathing and circulation gets fkd sometimes so he moves real slow after a set. I never personally experienced this, but I hear it's kind of scary and you have to chill out real quick and not get excited.

I remember you posted a couple of other questions about a month ago or so. Those posts mentioned some other symptoms, all these symptoms you are having make me nervous. Have you seen a doctor and had an EKG or an ultrasound of your heart? How is your bloodpressure? I say this because I had a bout of cardiomyopathy and had some similar symptoms like you. I am fine now and never really missed any workouts, my heart recovered back to normal. You should see a doc soon if you have not.

Can you explain more about this condition. I sometimes get so dizzy, super hot, and almost ready to black out once in awhile after workouts, and sometimes not when I am working out. Have to sit down and calm myself...scary shit sometimes

have you blood pressure checked if you can after a set even if you dont feel dizzy
how heavy are you lifting ? (just for intrests sakes)
i used to get it if after a set i would get up straight away so after benching i just take a few seconds out

are you taking any prescription medications? certain meds will cause you to have a head rush if you stand up too quickly.
but you say that your chest is tingling as well, that would say tell me that there is something wrong, and maybe you should go to a doc. and get it checked out.
