A.

Your head won't explode, if that is your concern, but the increased vascular pressure may not be very comfortable for you. If it hurts...don't do it.

A suggestion. Decrease your max weight and increase your repetitions at a lower weight. In other words, lower the intensity of your work-out, at least for power-lifting, until you feel better.
