HELP!! Killer headaches every workout

[mus1cjunk1e]

Guys this is really killing my progress. For the last couple workouts I get these splitting headaches in the back of my head as soon as I strain during a lift. First time it happened was at the end of a workout doing hack squats. Now it happens the first lift I do. I'm at my wits end.

I get this pounding pressure in the back of my head. When it first starts it pounds with my heartbeat, then after a while it just feels like pressure in the back of my head. I even tried taking advil or tylenol before my workouts and it isn't making a difference at all. Has anyone had this happen to them before?

First I thought it was the dbol I was taking to kick start my cycle, but I've been done with it for a week already and the headaches are getting worse not better. I'm even having headaches during the day, much lighter ones though.

The test and deca are kicking in full force and I can't even do a full workout because my head starts fuckin pounding. It's really pissing me off.

Anyone have any ideas?

i think you should go to a doctor man. not having a clue as to what is wrong it might be a good ideah stop lifting until you find out what the problem is.

i wish i could help you man, i have an interest in this as well. my lifting partner has this problem too but yours sounds worse. i feel for ya, i'll let you know if he finds anything that helps. in the mean time try eating before hand and staying totally hydrated. my friend said that doing this and drinking just a half gallon more of water a day helped him out some. it's worth a shot.

I have heard of this happening if you are straining your neck a lot when lifting. Especially if you push your head back against the bench while doing pushing exercises. It can feel like a headache or pressure in your head but can actually be the muscles. Just a thought, I could be way off

personally, i believe it is a nerve/muscle issue in your neck. that being said, i would get to a doctor asap. your bp could be extremely high. get to a doctor soon. you dont want to have a stroke or an anuerism (sp?).

I've had issues with my neck before -- pulled a muscle in the back of my neck about a year and a half ago -- but that's a different feeling than this. This is like a pressure feeling. I'm leaning toward it being high blood pressure. I'm gonna go check it tomorrow at the pharmacy (can't take any days off to go to the doc right now).

In fact, it's been about 20 minutes since my workout and the headache is just about gone now. Seems like I only get it when I strain and the muscles in my neck get pumped with blood. I guess once the pump goes away, so does the headache.

Anyone have any good remedies for high blood pressure?

you checked your blood pressure?

 

[mus1cjunk1e]

you checked your blood pressure?

I'm gonna go check it tomorrow. I know it's high though because my skin is reddish and when you press on it, it turns white. I just don't know how high. Plus it's been like that since I started my cycle, but the headaches only started this last week or so.

This is gonna sound funny , but do you get the same head ache/ pain when your having sex or jerking and your about to 'climax'?

Go to the doc Bro!! I had the same problem 2wks ago,had a slipped disc in my neck. It happened on squat day, didnt have the bar centered right on my back! Felt like I was gonna blackout from the pain!! Had to take a week off from lifting.
