I noticed a small red dot in my eye after squatting three days ago. After the last couple days if lifting it has continued to grow bigger. Is this something I should worry about or can I keep training hard?
Subconjunctival hemorrhage , its not a giant deal my cousin had the same thing, its just a vessel that ruptured because of the hard squeezing. Doctor told him to just go a bit easier for 2 weeks and it cleared up, and you should check for high BP. I know a couple people at my local gym who workout hard either way, no expert but its safe to say its not lethal, if you want inner peace just get a DR appointment
you will be just fine. Will take some time for it to go away. Try not to strain as much for a couple of weeks. You do not need to see a doctor unless you start to have changes in vision
I have blown the white out of one eye and Burst a bunch of blood vessels across my upper chest on heavy squats. No worries, Also I recommend wearing a mouthpiece if your pushing those squats. I chipped the back off a tooth on a heavy one, which involved a root canal and a crown. Mouth piece is $5, it is a no brainer.
I had way worse than that after violently vomiting from food poisoning received from a major chain sandwich shop... I went to the doctor and he said as long as there was no pain, discomfort, or change in vision, I had no need to go to the eye doctor. I wish I had taken a photo because my white was not white in the eye where the blood vessel poped.
