I would talk to my p-doc about the experience. I would also monitor my blood pressure to see if it is still high. I had a headache like that years ago from lifting weights. Somehow I got my breathing wrong or reversed. It felt like I got punched in the head and had a concussion. I stopped lifting but it took weeks for the pain to go away. I believe I had a concussion. So your headache may hang in there for awhile.

I would take the parnate again until the doc gives you the go ahead.

If your going to continue with parnate make sure you have one of the meds onhand for a HC. Good luck that you never have another one.
