Seeing stars

My google search turned up reports of seeing stars for 5-10 seconds after a
heavy deadlift. I tried a deadlift this evening and I so many stars, I
thought I switched on the Microsoft Windows "stars" screensaver.

Is this from blood sugar, blood pressure, or bad posture while lifting? I'm
reading conflicting stories. I hadn't eaten in awhile, but I also think my
bp was up.

I think it was because you hadnt been eating in a while.

Also, blood pressure might be a factor.

I think it was blood pressure and breathing technique.. but it seems a deep
breath on descent (as suggested) makes it worse. Today I saw stars and a
commet.
