What Does Popping Sound In Head While Lifting Weights Indicate?
My son heard a popping sound in his head while lifting weights and then some mild pain afterward. He complained of his left temple/forehead over the eye having some pain which lasted approx. 20mins or so. What do you think this could be attributed to?
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your son's symptoms seem to be related to an effort headache.
This is a normal type of headache, which can occur during straining physical activity.
If this situation is repeated, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical exam and a brain MRI scan to exclude possible intracranial vessel malformation.
Meanwhile, I would recommend a close monitoring of his blood pressure. High blood pressure could also be related to this type of headache.
Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes, Dr. Aida
