Head aches from deadlifting!

[Jakethemuss]

I only started deadlifting this year. About a month or so after bringing them into my routine i suffered a serious head pain whilst lifting.I was deadlifting (about 120kg for high reps)at the end of my back routine when i had this pain.It felt like my head was being crushed and caused my to fall to the floor unable to move for several minutes.The pain continued for about 5 weeks,doctors didnt have a clue and i had to have a scan. The consultant said it was what they called a thunderclap headache. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

yeah, once after dipping, i got an excruciating headache, like id burst something in my head! lol.I didn't exactly collapse, it went after a few minutes. I soon dropped dips from my routine.

Thing was everytime my blood started pumping like when i got stressed or a bit amourous with the missus it would become unbearable again!

i had something similar, kinda felt like a lump of blood went to my head like in a cartoon hosepipe and stayed there. took a week or so to go for good

yeah I have experienced something similar when doing shrugs, but it wasnt as bad as yours jake

The doctor thought it was a bleed in my head to start with but then he couldnt find any sign of one.Scan came back normal and i havent had any reoccurance since,strange!
