I pulled or otherwise really irritated the upper muscles of my neck again while squatting low weight. Last time this happened, I was also squatting and I thought I had a brain aneurysm or something since I felt it in my brain and it was so intense. Seeing how I didn't die, and because it happened again later that week, I knew it was something different.
Anyways, the last time this happened was last year around November, and the problem mostly went away after a month until just today. I was squatting, and suddenly I had to stop because I started feeling a really bad headache. Went for a second set then had to stop everything completely as the headache came back similar to last November. I am now pretty sure that where I'm injuring myself is around my upper neck/muscles attaching my head to my neck.
I'll ice it tonight and maybe drop some ibuprofin. But does anyone know what this might be about and how to prevent it from happening?
