I had a similar episode happen to me. I was on my last set of barbell bench and it felt like something popped in my head, and sure enough I went and got a MRI and they did tests and I had blown a blood vessel in my head. They said it started earlier that week when I was hang cleaning because earlier that week I felt a pop and i had a HUGE headache, but that was only for a couple hours, the second time it didnt go away for damn near 4 days, and I mean it was Migraine pain, I couldnt move and shit. I dunno if yours is that seriuos but I would goto a doctor and tell him whats goin on and the symptoms you are having just to double check so you can get that shit fixed. Keep us updated on how it goes. Best of luck bro.
You said you took some migraine meds? Do you have migraines already? Sounds like maybe you are getting low blood-sugar. I used to get headaches like that, usually on days when I did squats, deadlifts, and clean-n-jerk. Shit, more than once I had practically passed out during a workout. I think I was either not eating enough pre-workout or I was just training to the point that my blood-sugar got too low.
I would get it checked bro it happened to me when i was a teen,while working out and the doc had them do a MRI he thought i might have a anyourisim, they didn't find anything but as you can see my spelling on anyourisim it must of done something. Also sinustis can cause some of what your describing if severe enough, polyps in the sinuses can restrict breathing in the upper respiratory and can hit you like that I know I have severe sinusitis after 4 surgerys and it still happens to me when the polyps come back. When on after first or 2nd week my head starts feeling like its being squeezed like my sinuses are imflamed and then the pounding and headaches begin but not all the time every once in awhile but you never know till you get it checked.
