Extreme pressure/pain in head, neck and ears after physical exersion (exercise)

[chrissy1979]

I recently started exercising again and after any type of physical exersion I have extreme pressure/pain in my ears, head and neck.  It's mainly the bottom, back of my head, where my neck connects to my head.  And my ears feel like they will burst.  After stopping running, or other exercise, (because of the discomfort and/or pain), it subsides but leaves the muscles in the front of my neck aching.  I'm assuming that it's some kind of liquid build up in my ears.  What is the problem and is it serious?  Would sudafed or something similar help?  It's excrutiating sometimes.  Thanks for your help.

Yes! I have terrible pain in my ears, at the base of my head, and behind my eyes when running. I feel as though my eardrums are going to burst. I also sometimes get pains when bending over to pick something up--I never know how to describe it, except that it feels like my brain is banging into my skull when I lean. I even feel it in my eyes sometimes if I look from side to side. I work 8+ hours a day in front of a computer screen.

After hard exec. my back side of head and the portion conneting neck and head face much hardness, pressure in muscles and achiness. My observation is whnever i do concentrated execerise for eg biceps only...it increase sharply....for compound exexcerise or exec where mucles move freely ....no much problem and even feel better eg running....

My obsrvation : compound execercise are better where many mucles grp take part in execersie actively. Dont cross physical limit for just bcz we need result fast. Understand physical limit and increase stamina slowely. Stop exce immd whenver during execs feel pressure and dont do till the time feel good physcially and metally. Increase body conditioning, cordination b/w body part  with using running and aerobic. Blnc energy input output....

May be this help little bit

Hi, Try massaging your neck. You will most likely find some very tender spots. These are called trigger points. Purchase the Trigger point Work book by Clair Davies. All the info you need for self-massage for the entire body is in there. It may just change your life.

Hi, Try massaging your neck and shoulder are near the neck. You will most likely find some very tender spots. These are called trigger points. Purchase the Trigger point Work book by Clair Davies. All the info you need for self-massage for the entire body is in there. It may just change your life.

I have exactly what is described in the first post. I did it while at a physiotherapy gym center. I had to stop my workout due to pain which induced a really bad pressure headache and nausea. I went the next day and as soon as i started to strain pressure now goes straight to the left side of the back of my neck where it joins to my skull. I assumed this was common but havn't really got anything solid from the physio's. And i see there are no real answers here either. Its been two days and i havn't been able to workout. Im starting to get really worried. Will i ever be able to workout again and if so when?
