I've noticed that I get this when I do lots of hand stand holds. I get little red petechiae on my skin around my eyes from handstand holds. Basically it's little red splotches from surface blood capillaries bursting. They go away in a day or 2 but I was wondering it anyone else has seen this?

Someone else mentioned that they often forget to breathe when doing handstand holds... I wonder if I'm doing this too and that is what causing the petechiae.

    I've seen people get these from looking down at the ground while upside down. I've been told you should look straight ahead and you shouldn't get those red spots.
