Bloodshot eyes

Is it normal to get bloodshot eyes after inversion? I've begun practising towards handstands, just doing head tripods at the moment

Too hard, too long, too soon.  

 

The capillaries of the eyes of some people need additional time to adjust.  I recommend no headstands for 3-5 days and then begin again at a much lower duration per set and greatly reduce the overal volume of your headstand work.  Gradually increase the duration this time.

Thanks Coach. I'm up to a 40s hold after about a month of working on it, been doing it 3-4x a week. Will heed your advice and back it down some.
