Hi folks.. I'm 5'11 male, 26 years old weighing 200lbs at like 16%..

I was doing lunges on Friday and I got a sharp pain that went from my spine to my frontal lobe, then felt like extreme sharp pain on my temples for another 15min. I relaxed the rest of the weekend until Sunday. On Sunday I was doing pull-ups, on my 3rd rep I got the same pain - I had to let go of the bar. The first dr said it was probably a neck injury and prescribed Naproxen - I laughed at him and went home. I felt fine later that night.... I had sex, wifey did most of the work...during my orgasm I had the same sharp pains. Monday I went to the ER and they said my catscan was fine, but without any chest discomfort they wouldn't perform an EKG. I have had sex twice since the first time I mentioned in this post - both times ive had the pains return. I had been monitoring my blood pressure since Friday and it was very odd... 100/80, 100/40, 120/90 etc.. Wife is a cardio tech, mom is an RN..

Someone here at work says it sounds like a pinched nerve in my neck above my shoulders..but why the BP issues when ive never had a problem? I thought it may be my NO supplement, but I havent taken it in almost 5 days and I still get the sharp pains when I exert force...

HELP? IDEAS? I'm scheduled to see my Primary and a Cardiologist.. ER docs said to CONTINUE my supplementation.


I take.. L-Carnitine, Dessicated Liver, Orange Triad, White Flood, Purple Wrath, Creatine Monohydrate, CLA (Tonalin).

About two weeks ago, I finished a 25 day run of DNP. I felt fine throughout it and even afterwards, this **** came out of the blue..

try stretching your back and neck some to see if that helps with the pain. i had same issue with my neck after car wreck few years ago that i still have problems from time to time now. my neck would start to hurt, then the base of my skull and if i didnt do something to take care of it, it would make it to the top of my head. when your in pain, your hear rate will go up so could be reasons for that. if you have a pinched nerve a MRI would be better than a cat scan to see that on. would try stretching, ice, heat and 800mg of Iburpfen and see if that helps.

i had back surgery last year to fuse L5-S1 and might as well give you fair warning if you are really in pain let the doctors know and not try to pass you off for a drug seeker. took me over a year to get darvocet and for a few months would get 2-3 new Rx's each weak. so after taking a few thousand pills, injections, pt and finally back surgery they give me loratabs and somas...........pretty ghey....

Why did you laugh at the doctor? He was probably right in a way - most likely exertion headaches.

Blood pressure is more on the low side, may not be relevant.

Could be an exertional headache, can be a problem with the neck (C1-3 levels good for headaches and traps spasm)

But worthy of further investigation.

In your shoes, I certainly would not perform any form of exercise (including sex) until I'd sought further advice. It's not worth risking your long term health for short term gains. Hopefully it's nothing to worry about, not play it safe for a while.

gotta agree but then again blowing my load always makes me feel good for a bit....

It happened again, this time I woke up at 3AM with chest pains along with the head pains.. They gave me a CT scan of my chest and head again, also Xrays.. Docs and nurses say I have nothing wrong with me, blood/urine labs along with images show it. They say it's probably stress...a combination of my routine, work, and my pending divorce. They gave me a shot for pain, and a prescription for 600mg Ibprofen.. I was able to work out yesterday WITHOUT a problem. Solid work out, not bad, but not the best either...def not what it would have been if this has been a week I took off for rest, not by force.

This morning I got the shooting head pain after I climaxed again, what the **** is up with that? I have scheduled appt's for my Primary, Cardiologist and a Neurologist..

My mom says that I need some Xanax in my life...lol..
