Headache

Well guys, I'm 6 days into my blast which consists of:
500mg Test E/wk
300mg Deca/wk
30mg Dbol ed (1-4)
.5mg anastrozole eod
200mg B-6 ed

I slept funny the other night. I woke up with a stiff neck and after a decent lifting session it started to turn into a headache which lasted a decent portion of the day. I drank a ton of water and started to feel better. I woke up in the middle of the night to pee and my head was hurting quite a bit again, along with my neck, so I stacked two pillows to sleep which seemed to help quite a bit.

I had a squat session on the menu for this morning, and since I was feeling 95% better, I decided to give it a go. A few sets in my head started to hurt again (I noticed it from trying to keep my shoulder blades/upper back tight). Instead of trying to play the hero and work through it, I left the gym after a few sets. I checked my blood pressure prior to this blast and all was good @ 105/59. I have a couple questions:

1. Do you guys take anything for pain/headaches while on an oral? I know acetaminophen is out because of the stress on the liver. Also, my gastro doesn't want me taking NSAIDS such as Ibuprofen since I had a bad bout of gastritis. Is there anything else to take?

2. I've read that some dudes get headaches from dbol which typically passes after a week. I honestly think it's a tension headache from how I slept. My upper back and neck are both tight and sore, so I'm almost positive that's it. Just to be sure I'll be checking my blood pressure after I settle down for a bit.

3. Do I even lift? :)

Hey buddy, just because your BP was good before the blast, doesn't mean it is now. I would start by getting that checked. You are on a lot of aromatizing compounds that could contribute to it.

I take ibuprofen when needed. I don't see a problem with that as long as it's not abused.

I'll give it a looksie here in a few :).

Yeah, I haven't had any NSAIDS since my gastritis ordeal, but I've been pretty much healed for the past 4-5 months (I get a little flare up once in a blue moon now). I think I might grab some ibuprofen and just take a small dose to see. It's worth the small risk of temporary stomach discomfort lol.
 
do you have a sore throat? when you add gear sometimes you get some mild ketosis going.. which a headache can be part of.. if you have a sore throat upon waking up check ketones, if you want the headache to go away if you suspect ketosis is the culprit, make sure you have good electrolytes or get some extra salt,,
