What Causes Pounding Sensation In The Head After Lifting Heavy Weights?
Hi, I recently experienced pounding in my head after lifting 12lb free weights that were too heavy for me. It lasted only a minute and I recovered with no dizziness or other symptoms. However, since then, I have had ringing in my ears. My blood pressure is also a bit elevated 138/90
