anyway, i've been absent from the gym for 2 weeks. i've been having the most excruciating headaches... and i don't get headaches. never have.
the headaches start after any type of blood pressure raising exercise. i play hockey, headache, i do some 100lbs warmup cleans, headache.
it wasn't the regular kind... it was this throbbing pulsing on one side of my head type that had me rolling on the floor (this started after a 180lbs 10RM two weeks ago, whcih isn't a lot, but made the headaches come).
it's killing me cause i haven't been able to go to the gym or do the one thing that i love most: exercise (sports, anything physical). especially with all the exam stress i needed a good pickup road hockey game or something..
i got scared to hell, thinking i was gonna die or something. i have a cat scan appointment soon, hopefully nothing shows up.
the pain started like a tapping around the mastoid area at the back base of my skull, then quickly shot up to my temporal area, and i was rendered on the fucking floor. and it's been like that for a while.
the way i know it's caused by a blood pressure increase is whenever i'd go and do like 10 chinups, i'd get the beginnings of the pain.
scary.
anyway, great news today. i have the trial membership from a gym in my area (a ridiculously expensive one), and i said, what the fuck, if it's something serious, at least i'd be enjoying whatever time i have (sounds lame, but this was really going through my head).
i walked into the gym (it's commercial... you get the idea), got my share of dirty looks from the 135# bp masters, walked to the rack in the back which i may add was super new as no one knows there are muscle groups below the belt, and got started.

yeah, i really thought i was going to die. so what? there is a little dull pain around my head still, but i think the endorphines are taking care of that.
