goedikey Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hello, We were practicing mutual bag work when my friend kicked me in the belly. I was aware the kick was coming. I mistakingly held my breath while receiving the blow. I felt like a lot of pressure went to my hed but nothing more. Like a headrush. Since then, I have been feeling somewhat lightheaded and weak at times. Its like having low blood pressure or something. Had a headache the same day but now its gone. i suspect that there may have been too much pressure in my ear canal, and its taking some time to heal... Whats up with that ?

Rich67 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I don't know about this one....could be nothing. But if the headache returns or the light headedness keeps up, go visit a doctor. On the RARE chance you strained yourself so much that you actually popped a small capillary or other blood vessel somewhere, it's always good to get checked out. I have heard rare occasions where an anyeurysm (sp?) popped when guys lift heavy weight or strain while not breathing. Always remember to breathe....let us know how u are doing!

goedikey Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 thanks for your replies. I think I will be okay yet, the feeling is really weird but steadily going away. One thing is for sure,is that I will not hold my breath while receiving blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandhoppa Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Yeah this sounds familiar but this happened on my first couple of practices. I think it was just because I was heavily out of shape and not breathing properly. I felt light headed and was actually about to pass out. Slighty nausea too. Maybe it was because i wasnt properly hydrated or not enough electrolytes...it was after some strenuous exercises (strenuous for me at least ,everyone seemed to be fine, heavy breathing but fine) The sand bringeth and the sand taketh away...Disciple of Master Jules' Temple of Sand Dojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Warlock Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Personally, i think you should get a check-up and report this incident to your doctor, as well as the ensuing residual effects. I'm not as inclined as the others to just brush it off.
