    is it like a pounding pain, like massive migrain just suddenly hit you? but after you stop for like 10 minutes it goes away?if so, ive had that happen to me prolly a year ago and you might need to just take some time off from the gym for a week or 2.

    Yes was the best and most logical conclusion you came to .

    BRB suffering from the benz because I didn't breath on one rep .

    What you need to really get big is a solid routine which focuses on light weights and cable movements to really force blood into those muscles and get that deep burn & powerful contraction

    Don't be a dick Mr Alpha, If I had recurring head pain only when lifting I would probably worry too.
    OP it probably isn't a burst blood vessel but take it easy for a while and don't strain too hard if it comes back again. Then again I'm not a Doctor.

    Same **** happened to me man. I tried to lift a few times afterwards and the pain cam back immediately from moderate exercise. I went to hospital and it was a swollen blood vessel in the back of my head above neck(even though the pain felt it was in the center of my head). I ended up coming of krealkalyn creatine, excessive arginine and caffeine, and re hydrating myself. I also took two months off lifting all together. I didn't want to but they said I was I was at high risk of aneurysm. Hope this helps man. Take it easy

    The brb suffering from the benz bit read like a typical teenbb **** comment that is all.
    And it wasn't just a headache. If you have a headache it will last the whole time, not just when you lift weights.

    Well maybe but saying you burst a blood vessel is a bit extreme .

    Thanks done some research and it's a headache/pain that is caused from a build up of pressure and expands blood vessels In your head, if you keep doing it it can cause brain separation or anurism which are both life threatening. It caused by high blood pressure from lifting and I was talking white flood at the time which could have been a benefactor to causing it. So Im going to stop wf and still lift but check breathing and see how I feel..

    You do not have a burst blood vessel in your brain (you would be unconscious or six feet under right now) and it's not caused by a build up of expanding blood vessels in your head. Raised intracranial pressure causes pain (commonly known as a headache), if chronic there needs to be a reason. You do not have an aneurysm and you can't cause an aneurysm to occur. High blood pressure causes charcot-bouchard microaneurysms, you are correct, but it would probabaly take 40 years of hypertension to cause this.

    What you have is a muscle spasm in your neck/head muscles that is causing pain, pure and simple. Take a few days off or take paracetamol and stop being so paranoid. I'd recommend seeing a doctor in future if you have any serious concerns about anything rather than asking a group of teenagers online that don't understand correct grammar let alone clinical diagnosis.

    Thanks, would it be wise to skip out the wf as linked to increased BP or is it a case of just breathing properly... Thanks
