Exertion Headache
Since 4 weeks I am doing a weightlifting program. Alongside doing the program I am also training to hold my breath longer underwater and swimming lengths in a pool. I really pushed myself and when I breached the water after having swam 4 pool lengths underwater (48m), I felt an immense pain in my head. This pain lasted for 1-2 hrs.(Need more space)
