If it's the latter, I'm surprised that you haven't run screaming to the doctor, because it's really disturbing looking, but it's nothing major. It's called a subconjunctival hemorrhage, but it's essentially just a bruise in your eye, probably from straining.
Kind of like what happened to one of my eyes a couple of months ago. What worried me was that it got worse before it got better. It continued bleeding for 36 hours or so before the break in the capillary healed, during which time the redness spread.
I didn't got and see a doctor. I did speak to the UK NHS phoneline, who after asking lots of questions, basically told me not to worry about it as long as it went away after 4 days or so.
I've attached a photo of my eye at its worse. Don't click on it if you don't want to see a close-up shot of a bloody eye !
