lifting headache

Anyone ever got headache from lifting?

2 weeks ago when I was doing deadlift, on my last 2 reps, I "felt" something pop on the right side of my head, it is weird but it felt like a blood vessel burst inside my brain.

Got a headache, abit light headed but it only lasted a few minutes...stopped lifting and ran on the treadmill for 15 mins, everything seems okay.

But ever since then, whenever I do heavy deadlift or squat, I get a localized headache where I felt the pop before.
Other exercises seems okay (Bench, pull-up, cardio, etc, tho I get a mild headache too when doing OHP)
I think basically anything that cause blood to rush to my head, I feel the headache...

I took 5 days off last week, and tried again yesterday...the headache is much lighter and less sensitive, but I know it is still there. (I was doing about 90% of the usual weight)

Just wanted to get some advice before I go see a doctor. (No appointment till Friday)
