@drjoe_md: Ever hit the leg press so hard you felt it in the back of your skull? That’s likely an exertion headache. They happen when blood pressure spikes during heavy lifts and put extra stress on the vessels at the base of your head. Most are harmless, but the first one should always be checked out, since serious things like aneurysms or brain bleeds can feel the same. Lift smart, breathe, and don’t let ego turn leg day into head day. 🏋️‍♂️💥🧠 #legday #headaches #GymFail #medicalfacts

This has happened to me too. How do you deal with it? Should I just rest, or should I see a doctor? And if resting, for how many days?”

My son called and I said he was lifting and heard a pop and had an intense headache. I couldn’t get him to the ER fast enough. Thankfully it was just an exertion headache. We apologized to the staff and I was a tad embarrassed but the doctor was emphatic we did the right thing.

Great PSA! My husband is healing from a dissection of the carotid artery on the left side just below his brain. It’s not settling to ‘watch for signs of stroke’ till a 3 month scan.

It happened to me once while doing a flat bench press on a machine with a considerable weight; due to the effort made during a repetition, I felt like something in my brain exploded and my head hurt for quite a while.

I suppose unilateral leg press causes less pressure than two legs.
