A member asked:

Is wearing slightly tight clothes around the neck and then doing really intense exercise going to affect blood flow to the brain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Would depend how tight you have it around neck, as sufficient pressure could affect carotid blood flow and result in loss of consciousness. Since you managed to complete "really intense exercise", sounds like you survived quite nicely.
