Randomly this week I started getting super bad headaches specifically at the back of my head while lifting, instantly ending my sessions. Anyone else ever experience these?

Don't pop a blood vessel man
OP & moron here, what makes a blood vessel pop? Could the headache be induced by something muscular in nature?
Had something similar-ish happen to me before, finished a set of chin-ups and dropped from the bar, suddenly I felt like my head was about to explode.
For the next few weeks, I had random headaches whenever I was exerting myself too hard in the gym, but they went away. No clue what it was, maybe I strained my neck or something
Same thing happened to me bros, during leg press of all things. Figured it was the combination of too much caffeine...and maybe some weird strain as
mentioned. Even went to physio about it, did some feeling around to make sure nothing was damaged but said just cool it for a few weeks. No issues since.
Likely to be
>very high blood pressure
>bad cardiovascular health
>stress
>overtraining combined with one or more of the above
Take a week off, drop caffeine intake to zero, do light cardio every day, try to eat better
Reintroduce lifting but do not stop doing cardio. Actually increase cardio intensity but drop one or two days of it for resting
You are using activating your neck. Be conscious of that when you strain. Unshrug your shoulders. Unless you're doing shrugs.
You need to breathe during your lifts

What exercise was it, dumbass?
Used to happen to me all the time during squats. You're tightening up in your neck too much and not breathing. The bad news is that you're going to need time off to stop it completely before you come back to it.
it's either a life threatening thing like a brain bleed, or it's completely benign like a pinched nerve and should resolve on its own.
The only way to know for sure is to have an MRI done of your brain with contrast, I had this done and it was negative and the problem resolved on its own.
The advice to do is to not do anything that makes it hurt and see if it goes away if you are a poorgay and can't afford an MRI. If it doesn't go away you are playing with fire and it still may be benign but it can also be something dangerous that can kill you instantly. Its just one of those things that's just completely safe or insanely life threatening.
If you have any kind of health insurance, they will definitely pay for it because even though the chance of it being life threatening is low, it's a devastating condition and will cost them millions if they reject it.
If its been going on since Monday and only appears during weightlifting (only slight during cardio) would that rule out a brain bleed, since I assume I'd be dead by now if it was a legit brain bleed
there's really nothing that can rule it out, it is an unfortunate thing that you need an expensive test to be 100% certain. Mine lasted like a month or two.
It very likely is nothing, I'm just saying that with these things there is a small chance of it being something really serious and you should treat it with care, you have to take it easy until it lets up, if it never lets up, that's when you go to the doctor.
I've had that before caused by hangovers, or dehydration(like when i took dexedrine and didnt drink enough water throughout the day).
Tension headache. Last one i got was from drinking only coffee throughout the day then trying to do 20 rep squats.
It's due to a neck muscle/nerve issue.
Make sure you stretch your neck everyday and don't tense your neck muscles during lifting.
you are breathing wrong
When my sodium was low I would get lightheaded because on my basic b***h real food diet I was getting 6000mg of potassium and 400mg of sodium. Don't full ketolard though, make sure that's actually the issue.
