This is exactly how I'm feeling. I've been to one sparring session and left with a headache, a bloody nose and I felt sick to my stomach for a few days. It's been a couple of months and I've come to the conclusion that starting out, I should never have been put in a position where full power punches were being exchanged.
I didn't know better because I wasn't given any instruction and everyone else was doing the same thing but next time I will demand a slow controlled pace so I have a safe place to learn. If my partner won't respect that, I'll exit the ring and try with someone else.
