As above really. I wasn't lifting heavy but I do try to push myself. I walked 3 miles before the gym, cross trainer 30 mins quite hard then weights. I leg press 90kg, shoulder press 20 kg. Was leaving when caught sight of myself in the mirror. All is ok and eye has been checked out. I was told it is to do with raising blood pressure too high but I don't think I do that much???

I don't have an answer but curious to see what others say. This happened to me after I ran my marathon in August.0

Impropper breathing while lifting will cause your blood pressure to rise while lifting. Check out this article: http://scoobysworkshop.com/breathing/0

I had that happen from a Bikram yoga class -- I go to class daily before work and when I got into work people were asking how I hurt my eye.... it all went away a few days later.0

As above, make sure you are breathing right.0
