Debilitating headache during lifting/sex

Cactus kid · May 15, 2010

Yeah I get I massive, throbbing headache when I lift. It starts at the base of my neck and goes all through my skull! I can't lift and it's even happening during sex!

I'm currently 12 weeks out from a show. I'm on high protien/ moderate fat/ no carbs (palumbo style I guess), 750 test and 500 eq A week right now, and I'm taking yellow haze (ecay stack) WTF is going on!!!!

Sounds blood pressure related. I would look into this right away. Get your BP checked by someone that knows what they are doing!

i had these with one chick,...............when i would bust a nut it would shoot right up the back of my neck from the base, dr said this chick was so hot she was raising my bp probably ,lol

Coital cephalalgia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

they dont really know what causes them but it could be bp related

If I were you, I would go to a Neurologist ASAP. It sounds like you are experiencing Exertional Migraines and/or Post-coital Migraines. While they may be harmless, they can be symptoms of underlying serious medical conditions.
Please get medical attention ASAP.

x2 Thats what came to mind. Best to go to the dr, and see whats going on.

I had the same thing when on cycle, it was my BP. Man, it was crushing pain.

However, I would see a doc to be 100% sure.

I added a teaspoon of cayenne pepper in warm water at breakfast, and my BP came down fast.

Right. A debilitating headache that comes on suddenly during a heavy set at the gym is potentially a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke, something very serious indeed.

One more case for checking your blood pressure often.

Yellow Haze?

Drop the Yellow Haze for sure. High BP can lead to stroke.

Being a registered nurse, I see and take care of stroke victims quite a bit. High Blood Pressure is usually always the factor if not a strong contributing factor. I took care of a 26 year old kid a couple of years ago that had sufferred a stroke.

When you lift, your BP shoots up substantially, same with sex sometimes, that is why you get the vascular headaches in your head.

Drop the yellowhaze and reassess what is important to you. Health and happiness should be at the top of your list. A beta-blocker is fine, but just another med to add side effects. You know whats causing the high BP!

Peace and hope you get to feeling better!
