Hey guys, I know that you’ve talked about exertion headaches before in the forum but is there any significant literature regarding this topic? I’ve gotten really fat Headaches every time I try to finish my 3rd set at rpe 8 for squats and was fully hydrated, fed and lacking of caffiene both times it happened.
How old are you, when did you start having them, and how long do the headaches last?
If you’ve never had this evaluated before, it may be a good idea.
21, I had them once when i was 14, they went away up until 2 weeks ago, when I was squatting when the back of my skull exploded. the week before that I maxed out and didnt have any problems. I took it easy for a week and tried the next week, and used a lighter weight RPE7 and it happened again. last with a lot of pain about a day, and can still feel a twinge for about 3 days after
Just went to the doctors today, got an EKG and it looked fine, so theyre sending me for a MRI and MRA and see if anything is going on there
Now im just really mad that I can’t train
21 years old, had my first at 14, which subsided up until about 2 weeks ago when they started again, on my last set of squats for 305 3x5 at RPE 7.5 when the back of my head exploded. Lasts the whole day and can feel it twinge for two days after that. Had an EKG which looked fine, and have an MRI and an MRA on Tuesday.
also this morning I got one when I sneezed too hard.
