Ouch. Got an exertion head ache from too many squats too quickly after not to much exercise. Karma from believing I'm a video game character.

Happened during 25 RM. Felt like I was pushing past resistance around ~17 but then had shallow breath and elevated heart rate. Dizzy on final rep then head a head ache and nausea, even when managing it by putting my head between my legs and sitting.

Doing pretty well after hour and a half, an ibuprofen, and soup.
