I was maxing out on the decline bench yesterday. 245 lbs, 4 times, which isnt too shabby. but i guess between over strenuating myself and my head being at a declined position, i now have all this little popped blood vessels around my eye. from blood flowalmost like little freckles.

i dont care about how it looks but it HURTS LIKE HELL. i could barely keep my left eye open. it feels like an excruciating constant headache but only skin deep, mostly in my lower forehead. im at work and it sucks, i just want to lie down and close my eyes.

any remedies? i pounded some ibuprofen but that didnt do squat.

i dont want to sound like a lill girl, but this hurts like a motha

 

 

doctor

 

Ouchy.

 

WTF, do you not breathe when you lift?

The only times I've heard this happening to people is when they forget to breathe.

lol

dipass

 

Your blood pressure must have shot up over 250.

 

so, so far im a dipass and had a BP of 250+. which is cool and all... :sigh:

BUT HOW DO I RELIEVE THIS?

 

get that shit checked out to make sure it's only skin deep. You could have done some damage.

 

You can't, its like any other cut/bruise, its gotta go away on its own.
You are one crazy mofo.

 

damn man.... alrite, ill wait this one out.

i gotta stop being so crazy. i also couldnt walk this weekend bc i mesed up my knee from drunken wrestling after having a litre of jack

 

Broken blood vessels in the eye = too much strain. I did it once, I also had to get checked for hernia!

 

damn. the doctor recommended that after the popped vessels, or you had another pain as well?

i want to put ice on my eye bc it feels like a got punch in the face, but i doubt that would help.

 

sounds like you have petechial hemmorrhages (fine pinpoint ruptures of the blood vessles due to sudden extreme changes in the blood pressure). The only experience i have with them is with homocide victims, but i would say that just cold compress might help. Sorry to hear it though, just gotta remember to breathe when you lift. Thats why i HATE doing declins, all the blood rushes to your head anyways!

 

Better than a hernia. But you need to be careful or you will get to enjoy that next.


And with regards to the 245 on the decline -.

 

A girl I know had that happen when giving birth. She looked like she had the crap beaten outa her. Dr. said it will go away let it run its course...

Hmmmm... 245 decline = giving birth... Glad I dont have a uterus.

 

cmon. 245 isnt that crazy, im assuming that most ppl browsing on the Fitness board could most likely put that up.

it doesnt hurt anymore, thank god. just a bunch of little red pinpoints on the upper half of my face... no biggie.

 

ok for the past three days i have had excrutiating pain in the muscle of my left brow. its 247. it hurts like a bitch but is numb to the touch. this has been noticable the day after i maxed out on the bench. i havent even attempted to lift since. if im not on tylenol then i have to lie down and close my eyes bc sometimes the pain is too bad.


i gave it 3 days to pass, but it is just as bad as it was the first day so i went to the ER. after 2 hours of nonsense the doctor told me that she has never seen anything like this or knows what it is. she said to try and wait it out and keep taking tylenol. if its still there in 3 days then i should go see my doctor. she figured it wasa muscle strain, but then why would it be numb when i touch it?

its is strange how it hurts like a bitch but if i rub my finger over it, its numb. its like a constant migrain, only skin deep, thats in a concentrated area.


WTF is going on here? its def from lifting bc i somewhat noticed it immediately after finishing the set.

 

i went to the freggin ER for this shit. listen up you bishes!!!

 

i did that before on my entire face, but it was from puking all night. it took about 2 weeks but it slowly went away

 

pics please?

it would suck if you went blind from this.

 

nah im fine now... but it was 5 days of numbness / pain. pretty scary. im never maxing out again

 

the popped vessels went away in a day. the pain was above my eye in a concentrated spot. i looked fine, it wasnt droopy or swollen. so pics wouldnt help

 

Oh man, believe me when I tell you that mixing dry wine and beer is a bad, bad, bad, bad idea...

WARNING:this portrayal of my ordeal is pretty graphic so read at your own risk.

Oh man I woke up 3 days ago at 7am (I went to bed at 3am) with the mother of all heart burns, nausea and of course the runs... now the runs aren't bad at all, so I went to the bathroom to take it like a man and evacuate.

Half way through trying to make something happen the pressure started building up in my throat... I could no longer hold it in, so, in a move that could only be described as a sommersault, I turned towards the toilet and let her rip... I know... gross....

So, after a few minutes of cleaning myself and the mess, I went to sit and try to sleep it off. However, I still felt like there was something stuck in my throat...so I went back to the toilet. This time I decided to take the bull by the horns and "hacked" at the toilet. I've never made myself puke before so I wasn't totally privy to the "finger in mouth" trick. Anyway, as I struggled to dislodge what I thought to be the last chunk stuck in my throat (it was really nothing) I pushed and pushed so hard that when my insides came out it amplified the pressure I was forcing on my head.

When I looked up in the mirror my face was red. I didn't think anything of it until I looked closer and saw all the capillary vessels in face had ruptured. My face swelled up twice in size. It wa's not a pretty sight, but nonetheless I thought "meh, I 'll sleep it off..."

Fast forward 4 hours of sleep and I wake up to find my eyes completly red instead of white with just a a brown iris in the center. I don't know how high my pressure musta been to blow my eyes this way, but it was high. My head had literally exploded.

Like I said before this happened only three days ago and the swelling and rednness of my face has gone down but my eyes are still a shade short of crimson.

I will post a pic and my experience at work later.

 

Can anyone help me to upload a pic of my red hot eye? IF you want to see it that is...

 

Go to the doctor ^^. Upload the pic,.....try imageshack.

 

I just keep thinking of the time Stewie strained mad hard trying to fart and popped the blood vessels in his eye
