Bad Headaches

[Orion141]

Last week, while I was flat benching, my head started to really hurt, and the pain stayed with me for a couple of days, and then it subsided. This week, once again while I was flat benching the same thing happened. I was wondering if anyone knows what might have caused this (I am on week 8 of my cycle, Test enan 400mg/wk). The headache is pretty bad. Thanks

How are your breathing techniques during lifting? It may sound crazy but I used to hold my breath on the way up and I would get the same thing you are desribing... Try exhaling as you push out the rep.

probably a transient increase in BP Bro from holding your breath

Orion, where is the headache located? i recently had the same thing happen to me, and some people suggested that it might be high blood pressure. mine was located right above my neck and to the left. hurt like a b*tch

I dont know.......... But I JUST GOT an f'ing headache just reading this post. Its probably high bp or stress IMO

AAS's cause headaches and they aren't directly related to HBP. HBP is symptomless, but it can cause secondary problems that cause headaches.

sounds like a breathing prob. If it was bp related I would think he would notice it more on dl's or squats. You are doing those lifts right?????

[Flasher]

IMO it could be breathing or even dehydration make sure your drinkin a ton of water aside from regular liquids. I used to get that too but now that i almost drown myself I rarely get them..

I do do squats and deadlifts. I am going to try and focus on my breathing. My headache is located right in the middle of my forehead. I am also going to go and get my blood pressure checked. Thanks

nolva can cause headaches. I take mine right before bed to avoid any sides. Never affects me the next day though.
