Suggest Treatment For Needles Sensation In The Back Of The Head

When I work out it starts to feel like im getting needles pushed into the back of my brain. its sharpe and quick continuous pain. My chest ( not as often as my head) starts to feel like someones sitting on it. I can still breathe okay through all of this. the more often I work out the long the needles in my brain lasts and the worse it gets. I have just recently started working out 4-5 times a week.

Hi,

I am Dr.Bruno. I have read your question and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you

You have described signs of Ischemia
When you exercise, too much blood is shunted out to the muscles so that the other parts gets less blood supply and hence you get the symptoms you have mentioned

The solution would be to reduce the Weights / Counts of your exercise for few days and then gradually increase them

This is easily manageable :)


Hope you found the answer helpful.

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
