Headaches?

[BigWilly]

First off, I am the type who NEVER gets headaches...all my life, rarely EVER got a headache...

Lately I'm been getting a severe headache at the end of a challenging set...

For instance, like a DC widowmaker on squats...say 315-405 x 20 reps...towards the end I start to feel light headed and faint...then the headache hits....it's bad.

Anyone ever experience this?

P.S. yes I am breathing deep throughout the set, and my BP is in normal ranges.

LOL..WELL, YOU TOOK MY BLOOD PRESSURE GUESS AWAY!

I HAVE HAD THAT FEELING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT....EXACTLY THAT.....THE HEADACHE IS LIKE A WEB OF PAIN....I HAVEN'T HAD ONE LIKE THAT IN A LONG TIME.

hmmm...

well I'm glad someone else had this...I'm just not sure why it's happening to me.

thanks JT


I'm going to get a home BP monitor and try to check it more often. I'm the heaviest I've ever been at about 265-270...I'm 5'9".

WILL, IT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS AT MY HEAVIEST AS WELL.

I REMEMBER IT QUITE WELL THOUGH. IT REALLY SUCKED. IT'S HURTS AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE BARFING.

I REMEMBER ONCE I WENT AND LAYED OUTSIDE ON THE COOL CEMENT...EVERY TIME I STOOD UP...WHAM...THAT PAIN CAME RIGHT BACK..INSTANT HEADACHE.
