Headaches

Lately when I've been working out I get these huge headaches.  Usually on the intense exercises that require a lot of power like benching, pull-ups, or deadlifts.  It's like my neck tenses up and I can feel the blood pumping throughout my body.  It almost instantly gives me a migraine like headache and I just can't lift anymore.  Also there are times I feel like puking.  I don't think it's that the weight is too heavy because I used to be able to lift these.  I want to take a few days off, but I also don't want to.  When I take days off from lifting I feel fat.  I think I will just go lighter to see how I feel for the next few days...

Tomorrow is Sunday and that means there's football on.  I bet on a few games because I like to gamble and it adds a little more excitement to all of the games.  Well wish me luck!  =)

  1. Have you checked your breathing? You also don't want to increase your blood pressure to the point of getting a cerebral aneurysm, not trying to speak bad things, but just being honest so you can be careful and informed. Well you already know I am not a doctor but I am an EMT and those are some of the things that come to my mind, the cerebral aneurysm because you said the neck pain. It could also be a sign of you straining yourself too much. like you said take it slow, start off with the lighter weights and work your way up. Good luck with that! :)

  2. Wow I just Wikipedia that and it kind of does sound like it with the sudden severe headache. Should this be something I am worried about when I'm not straining my body as much?
