A member asked:
Pain in the back of the head when doing compound movements in the gym? is it exertion headache or a strained muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either: It can be either. Although, if it occurs only in the gym, it is more likely exertional HA. Might also be high blood pressure, brain aneurysm. It is important to get that symptom checked soon, and avoid straining until you do!
