This morning i was doing yoga. while in the inverted position of downward dog i had an excruciating, stinging, burning pain in the left side of my head, followed by watery eyes. it was horrible and quite scary. what do you think caused it?

Your neck (cervical spines) position during that Yoga posture acutely irritates one branch of the cranial nerve which innervates that area and then reflexive tearing occurs. You should avoid this position for several days then be careful when you want to practice that posture again. Good luck!
