Boom Boom,
What's up Bro? I haven't seen you since the bodybuilder.org site folded up man. My handle over there was IronLfter. Anyway man, I know what you mean about these fucking headaches. I used to have the exact same problem and it would come and go. Thank goodness i haven't had the problem in a year or two.
I used to be the same way...would be fine all day and start my workouts and bam!! The pain would kick in on my first intense set...especially if it was bench, squats, deads or chins. I would force myself through the workout and would even tie a rag around my head as tight as I could ( I looked like I was trying to be fucking Rambo or something) to cut off the circulation and the throbbing. I could feel my temples throbbing against the rag. I know that wrapping something that tight during a workout probably wasn't wise, but I was so pissed about the pain interrupting my workouts that I would do anything to get through them.
During this time I also noticed the pain would come on during sex too. It seemed that any physical activity would bring on the headaches. Hell, I would have an orgasm and then would feel like my brain was going to explode man.
I seemed to notice the occurence of the pain decreasing when i stopped doing dumbell flyes. I think my problem was a pinched nerve and it seemed to be stimulated by doing flyes with dumbells.
This may not be of much help to you Boom Boom, but maybe there is a certain exercise that is causing this for you too. If you can isolate which exercise it is then maybe that would help. Anyway, bro I just wanted you to know that you aren't the only one out there who has had this problem. Best of luck to you and take care.

DAMMIT!
DAMMIT!
been there...
Same thing happened to me about 5 years ago, as soon as I started lifting in the gym, boom a pounding headache. Went to see a neurologist and everithing was fine. Turned out I was overtraining and that was my body's way of telling me to back up the intensity. Stopped lifting for 3 weeks and started back very lightly, and dropped all my supplements ( I was taking hot stuff at that time and animal packs or something like that, but not gear, so i guess it was not gear-related) and never again had the headaches.

Hey Man I am EXACTLY THE SAME. Your idea to go get you blood pressure checked was right on the money as that IS what is causing it. My bp was about the same as yours and just like you my heart rate was like 45 or something ridiculously low. So, my solution was to do cardio before lifting heavy for twenty minutes to really get your heart going and get the blood flowing through you. What I think happens is your blood pressure is a little high and when you jump on the bench and start with a heavy set the sudden rush of blood to your brain causes a massive headache and believe me I know exactly how bad they are! Anyway, I posted here too and got advice to lower blood pressure by taking asprin and maybe a light diretic because water retention will raise bp too, and if you just got off of a test cycle like that this might be of some help. Anyway, they will go away soon, maybe a week or two depending on how long your last shot was, but until then do everything to lower bp and I think you will find it to help, at least it did for me, increased cardio also really helped me. Hope this helps you bro good luck. BTL

New to this and getting ready to start first cycle, but still have info that might help. I am hypoglycemic and I will get the type of head aches that you are talking about. I am not saying that you are hypo what I am saying is the eca combined with low carbs are your problem. The brain runs off of carbs. During intense exersize you use carbs as a source of quick energy and you are robbing your supply of carbs and putting your self in a hypo type state. You said you just came off of a bulking cycle and are now on a cutting cycle which would mean that you are larger and that your body needs more to suport itself. I am guessing here but I asume that most of your carbs that you are eating are after you have worked out or latter in the evening that is why you feel beter in the mornings. Try this cut out the eca intill you get the carbs right and then you can restart them and see how things go. what I mean by getting your carbs right is consume the majority of your carbs in the morning say 60% then 20% an hour or so after your work out and then 20% towards the end of the day say 2 hours or more before bed time. When you do get the head aches or fill one coming on drink some juce like OJ or Pineapple and it will help some. I've noticed that when you get one of the head aches full blown they are a bitch to get rid of.
Here is how I feel before and when I get the head aches, first I feel realy good and am in a good mood, then I notice that I am starting to get cranky, vision will become hazy and or spoty. sometime alittle out of focas,
Then the head ache that starts behind the eyes, then bam like I just got hit by mike Tyson dull throbing head ache that just wont go away.
I am not a doctor so read what I have said and if this sounds like your problem then try my advice and hope you feel better Bro, If you need any help just drop me an email and I will be more than happy to help

ZESTORIL
BoomBoom
I feel for your problem. If you are going to start taking any Blood Pressure meds, you might want to try Zestoril. My doctor has told me that it is great for the kidneys and they are even giving it to people who don't have high blood pressure but do have some kidney disorders(diabetics) albeit in small dosages.
I used to get them all the time but I have taken this medication in different doses (5mg, 10mg 20mg) for the last year and nothing.
It really helps especially if you are under a lot of stress. Some of the other BP meds can make you dizzy and nauseous so think about perhaps trying this one.
Good luck!
