INJURY: Immediate response needed...

[STAGG]

Im a 21yr male... healthy with avg. blood pressure... use the 8x8 routine on most muscle groups, 4 days a week...
After completing my 5th set of 135lb. squats today, I got an excrutiating pain in my head (more than a headache). Now, 5 hours later, it has not let down.
I plan on visiting the doctor in the morning.
Any info. on possible blood vessel and artery damage would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Zac D.

The brain is far too important to take a chance on. Phone an emergency doc, or the ER for advice NOW.

Yeah bro, go to the ER.

 

[RBtrucking4]

any word on your condition?

 

[STAGG]

Never ended up going to the hospital. I felt much better the following day. Simple case of 'Weight Lifters Cephalgia' most likely.
Anyone else have an experience with this?

What is that?

last deadlift day, maxed out on conventional and then sumo afterwards.
big headache on the way home, slept it off. pretty normal, also a sign of a good meet.

A big headache from a hard and draining workout is normal and usually taken care of with a decent sleep. Any sharp pain requires attention.

hmmm...had never heard of it. had a client that when first starting with me got it pretty regularly.went and got his dome scanned and nothing was wrong. i thought he was eating too little but this makes more sense. farbeit for me to diagnose but this sounds plausible.

ive had that happen to me on a heavy leg day. i was doing leg press and felt a pop in my my temple area followed by a massive headache that ended my workout. called the doc and he said it was prob a muscle tension headache. i was on test/eq at the time and bp was a little higher but it scared the shit outa me. i thought i had an anurism (sp)?
