HELP!! Killer headaches every workout

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?

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.
 
bro i bet its blood pressure,,,, i think everybody should buy a home bp monitor 60 bucks,,,,,,, check yours asap,, in the meantime drink even more water and cut out salt until you get your pressure read test dbol and deca ====== bloat which=== high bp
 
I have had the same exact thing as you. I still am not sure if it was my which i know was high but I dont know if that was the cause of it or it might have been some sort or a pinched nerve?
 
Check blood pressure and I would strongly think about having an MRI done. You could be on the verge of something serious, alway's error on the side of caution. We don't want to lose a good bro, make the time to go to the doc.
 
You could have subluxations (bones out of place) in your neck and the workouts are irritating the nerve roots. Maybe go see a chiropractor to make sure everything is in alignment.

sounds like BP issues but hard to say for sure,,headaches can come from anything.
 
My head never feels right when I work out, always light headed, dull pain, sharp pain, something. I just work through it, and unless you feel just completely wrong about it that's the best advice I can give you.
 
If your having migraine headaches then YOU NEED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR. That has taken many good bros out .. you may look healthy however anybody that trains heavy eats heavy and taxes there bodies beyond its scope needs to have blood work done ONCE a year..
 
I have new daily persistent headache, a type of chronic headache, so I have bad headaches 24/7. Lucky for me, exercise is the only thing (with alcohol) that actually offsets my headache, so I don't notice it in the gym, and if I had my way, would be in the gym every minute of the day or partying drunk (yeah I know, not exactly compatible aspirations, and I am smart enough to prioritize the former).

I could see how this could kill your progress - the headaches have certainly killed my once very promising legal career.

My advise is its probably vascular given its exacerbated by exercise. Consider anti-migraine drugs. There are 3 main classes, none of which have helped me, but I can tell you the side effects I've experienced (my condition is the hardest to treat - yours may not be)

(1) beta-blockers: AVOID!!!!!!!!!!! these may you drowsy, feel tired, weak, etc, and made me gain weight as I couldn't exercise.
(2) tri-cyclic anti-D's: these had only minor side effects, because your not taking the anti-D dose. The 2nd time I tried these I had no sides.
(3) anticonvulsants such as valproic acid and topiramate: valproic acid had no sides, topirametes make you feel a bit dumber in my experience, but this tends to disappear after about 4 weeks as a side. They often make people lose weight as sugar starts to taste funny.

I would as last resort take an anti-inflammatory pre-workout -I've heard this retards muscle growth significantly (although research this if your considering this option)

If your headaches is vascular, stims + exercise is probably a bad combo - get off any stims or nitric oxide.
 
I have just read other people's post

(1) BLOOD PRESSURE:

If it's this, asked to be prescribed ACE inhibitors not Beta blockers. If you take beta blockers in my opinion (I had normal BP and was prescribed for migraines), you may as well quite training. My pulse went into the 30's, and I couldn't do anything. You get dizzy by jumping. THEY SUCK! (I've tried so many treatments, and the only two I'm passionately against are SSRI's (at least for me but I know they help some people) and Beta blockers.

There is also evidence ACE inhibitors improve your body fat. I'm yet to take ACE Inhibitors, but my doctor assured me I wouldn't feel as drowsy on them. I wanted however to have 3 months off prescription drugs to ensure my omega program was a success.



(2) You could get an MRI, but i assure you they will almost certainly show nothing. I've been to 3 neuros, and they basically just say "MRI's rarely show anything, and we don't really under stand what causes your condition, just that it exists"
 
I had the same thing happen to me about 4 years ago. The next day after a leg workout I got the worst headaches from anything that would elevate my BP or heart rate. It was so bad that when I tried to take a shit my head would hurt to the point it would make me nauseous. Sometimes I'd have to lay on the floor right there in my bathroom.

I ended up going to the doctor and getting an MRI because he was afraid it could be an anyeurism. I asked if I had to because I didn't have insurance and he said well if it is you could die at anytime. I had to think about it for about a second to agree to have the MRI done. The MRI showed that everything was fine in my head, so the doctor prescribed me Propranolol which made all the difference in the world. Almost immediately after taking them the pain went away and eventually the nerve healed itself within a week or two.

The MRI costed me about $2,000 dollars though that I had to pay out of pocket. Damn not having insurance sucks, that hurt more than the nerve.
 
So propanola didn't make you lethargic? That's exactly what I took. It majorly effected me. This was before I did weights, but I use to run etc back then and, after 3 weeks of beta blockers, couldn't even run 5 km's.

I guess everyone's different.

It didn't have any negative effect on me at all, Just made me more relaxed most of the time. It didn't negativly impact my workouts either, but I also took it more easy around that time.
 
Thanks for all the responses guys.

I'm going to check my BP at the pharmacy today, but I'm 99% sure now that it's an old neck injury that I aggravated.

I didn't think it was that injury before because I was getting headaches on the whole back of my head, not just the right side (I pulled/tore a muscle on the right side of my neck a while back). However, all last night I had a headache only on the right side of my head, and this morning the right side of my neck is tight and hurts all the way down the side of my trap. That's exactly how it felt when I aggravated it a year ago.

Sadly, the only way I've fixed this in the past is to just stop lifting for a week or two :(. I just REALLY hate to do that right at the peak of my cycle :( :(

Assuming my BP is ok (which I think it will be when I check it today), I'm just going to take a week off lifting, take a few somas, and stretch every day. Hopefully after the week is over I'll be able to go at it again.
 
good luck bro
 
Thanks Hayez :)


I just went and bought a blood pressure meter (a nice automatic digital one) and checked my BP. I got 134 systolic/ 64 diastolic. That puts my systolic in the prehypertention range -- nothing too serious -- and my diastolic right in the normal range. That's about where I'm at when I'm not on gear.

That proves it right there that its not a blood pressure thing. Hopefully a week or too off the weights will let my neck heal up and I'll be good as new.
 
Hey man,
I used to get this bad,esp on legs days but also on other days,made me feel like an idiot cos i couldnt train for shit...i got it to stop but i honestly couldnt tell u how i done it cos there where a few factors involved.
.make sure to breath corectly cos the slight hold of breath can fuck you up.
.sorted my sleep pattern out totally.
.like the other guys say drink more water and have your diet in check.
I done all this and it went away totally,not to sure what the defining factor was though fella..
 
When it felt exactly like this a year ago, I just stopped lifting altogether for 2 weeks and I was good to go. I've got 6 weeks left on my cycle, so I'm just going to continue with the injects and hopefully finish out the last 4 or 5 weeks of my cycle with no problems. Also I'm already on 2iu per day of GH for fat loss, so for the next two weeks I'm upping the dose to 4iu per day to help with healing.
 
Increase the dosage man, no pain no gain.

Most likely a muscle contraction headache. When you poke the back of your head, upper neck, does it feel sensitive and sore? If, so muscle contraction - those muscles are cramped up. Not much you can do but apply cold, heat, analgesics until it goes away.
 
If your BP is high take an aspirin. It will thin your blood and help to lower your BP. If the pain goes away then you know what the problem is. And take it before you train.

That's definitely what it is. I'm taking 2 weeks off lifting to let it heal and will be using ice every day. Just sucks it's right in the middle of my cycle. At least I'll still have 4 more weeks left after it heals (assuming it heals in 2 weeks like it did the last time this happened to me).

It's not a BP problem. Couple posts up I mentioned I bought a blood pressure meter. My BP is in the normal range.
 
had the sdame issue, added oatmeal to my pre workout protein shake and that took care of it,, key is complex carbs preworkout
 
i have a killer headache on the top of my head and sometimes behind my eyes pretty much all the time, if its not real bad, its just really tight like i have a head cold, it started about 4-5 weeks after coming of a tren acetate cycle, ive had mris catscans blood work eye exam the works, and nothing seems to be wrong, as far as the headaches while lifting go, it could be a strain in ur neck like was mentioned, the muscles in the very back of the neck get tight and strained esp when pressin ur head back against a bench while pushing, could aslo be from not breathing correctly while lifting heavey while at the same time straining the neck........as far as i go, i guess im just gonna have to live with a headache forever lol
