Loud Pop In Lower Neck On Sneezing, Severe Headache After Lifting Heavy Weights. Serious Symptoms?
My husband sneezed today and heard a loud pop in his lower neck followed by a severe headache . He ended up in bed a slept for a few hours. This happened a while ago when he was lifting weights. He usually never complains about anything so i know its bad when he does complain! I am concerned that it is something serious.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your husband having acute cervical pain following heavy weight lifting.So he might having prolapsed intervertebral disc(PIVD).
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray/MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance.
In the interim, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting and rest well.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
