Head pain

On Tuesday I went to the gym to do a regular workout. I streched and warmed up a bit and did my normal back extensions no problem. Then I went to do just a simple bench press, nothing heavy just start out with 10 reps at 135lbs. But on the 7-8 rep my head started to hurt really bad with a shooting blinding pain. So I stopped, sat for a bit and walked it off to try and clear it. After a few minutes it seemed to calm down, so I tried again, same pain. I was like wtf? I rarely ever get headaches. I decided to give up on the bench and just do some simple dumb bell curls, I managed to get through a set but decided to give up on weight lifting for the evening and just do a boring 20 minutes on the stationary bike.

My head was still hurting, but not too bad. Wednesday and Thursday I felt pretty good so last night I was going to try again and get a normal workout, maybe a little lighter, depending on how it went. But sure enough as soon and I got in to some reps, terrible pain in my head. I was pissed. So I just went back home and let it all calm down.

Today I have a doctor’s appointment so we’ll see if anything is wrong or what. Since I don’t get headaches people keep telling me I need to get it checked out and not just “wait it out”. I really have no idea what it could be. I hope it’s nothing. I want to get back in to the gym, because other than work and my kids, I don’t really have anything else do to.
