Dizzy spells after squatting
So heres the thing the last 2 week or so when squatting
In the bottom position my ear pops when finished my balance is all over the place like am blind drunk, couple of times cut short my workouts but when i,ve carried on regardless i,ve had to lie down or drop down hopefully its nothing serious i,ve got the docs tomorrow about it hoping someone could shed some light maybe through a similar experiene

Temporary sudden increase in blood pressure perhaps? I know I used to puke sometimes from squats. I hope that doesn't happen anymore since I'm starting squats next month.

Its one of those things when I squat heavy it takes my breath and sometimes I have to sit for a second to get calmed down

My advise is a wider grip, your basically chocking yourself out by compressing the shoulder muscles into the neck muscles and cutting off your O2 flow

Dont think its my grip width as i,m as wide as my rack lets me also this has only happened recently each time my right ear has popped in the lower position
then my balance goes and lasts up to 1hr or more

You're allowing the pressure to build in your head. While you can't totally prevent increased cranial pressure while squatting you can "learn" to minimize it. It's hard to explain or tell someone how to do it but once you get the feel you'll be fine. I had to learn this while benching. I was getting these little red dots all over my face when benching heavy. Once I applied the same pressure control that I use when squatting and dead lifting the red spots went away. I didn't realize it was that bad until I almost passed out one time benching. That really got my attention.
