This happened to me. During personal training for weight lifting. It's horrible and horrifying. I too had a CT scan and all was well. The cause is not breathing while lifting. It seems natural to not breathe during the lift part but you have to concentrate on breathing. Otherwise you tense and tense your head hard. It's the tensing muscles and low oxygen when doing it. I should have mentioned it to my trainer. He knew exactly what it was and yell at me to breathe after that.

I got the scan to be safe and so should you but you will see it's nothing. If you go to a gym, ask a trainer about this and they will confirm what I explained. Relax and breathe.

Hugs to you.
