Did you eat before going to the gym?

An artery to the brain?

Okay, so maybe you would be dead if that happened...

When you were straining did you start bringing your head forward?

It is very challenging to assess this problem over the internet. Vaguely, it seems as though you may have pushed your head forward which many people do when straining and it caused a displacement of one of your vertebra. It was likely to be C6 or C7. This is not absolute as diagnosing over the internet is like shooting into the woods and hoping you hit a deer without ever seeing one. In the future be sure to keep your head upright. A lot of people lean bend their neck and head forward while performing shoulder exercises and over time this can create instablity in your cervical vertebrae segments.
