Warm Sensation, dizziness, followed by anxiety?

Question

Ok this is something really weird but I exercise regularly, im not a work out freak but I do it for mainly health reasons, im relatively young in my mid 30's, about 3 years ago i was at the gym working out Im very concsious about my breathing when I lift weights and overall im pretty careful but no more than anyone else i would think, so anyway im breathing out while im pushing weight up using my legs, and then all of a sudden I get this weird sensation, its hard to describe but it felt like something exploded in the back of my head followed by a warm feeling inside my skull and then that was followed by dizziness and disorientation, naturally anxiety ensued I was taken to the hospital where they did and mri and everything came back ok, I have continued to exercise and I have never experienced anything like that (thank God) again, but I am so curious nobody not even the dr. or paramedics that day were able to give me a straight answer so anyway has anyone ever had something similar ?

Answer 1

it sounds as though you strained a nerve in your neck. That would be why you felt all of the weird sensations. If this ever happens again I recommend you see a chiropractor for help.
