Title: Nosebleed while squatting
Post by: smaul on June 01, 2007, 04:11:05 AM: Got a nosebleed while squatting yesterday. This has never happened before. I wasnt particularly worried but I did feel quite hardcore though! ;D Am wondering whether I should get it checked out?

Dont think I have high blood pressure seeing I sometimes feel a bit faint when standing up from being seated, which is an indication of low blood pressure. Could this have something to do with dietting?
