Strong Headache When Lifting Heavy Weight

Q: Hi Mike.I was doing weight lifting yesterday and when i was lifting a heavy weight i experienced a strong headache.The weight i was lifting was slightly better than i always do cause i did 12 reps before and i start from 10 then go 8 and 6 till failure.I search and found this is very common in weightlifting but i dont know what to do.Seems the cause is still unknown.Have u ever experienced this and what do u think is happening and causes this?

A: Sorry, that's a medical question and not something I will be able to advise on. I would encourage you to see a doctor about it, especially if the pain does not go away on its own after a couple days. I definitely would not do heavy training while the pain is still present or if it returns. Good luck with your recovery.
