Dizziness While Exercising Posted: 09-17-07 13:24pm
I've had enough of this. I REALLY need to
exercise. It's been keeping me sane for
years of battle with anxiety and panic
attacks. It distracts me, and all.
But lately I gave up. Even if all I do is
a couple of push-ups, I get extremely
dizzy and fear of fainting. I have a
private gym where I'm alone and it
wouldn't be good to faint under a weight
when nobody's around.
So, I have increasingly reduced my workout
until all it's left is some push-ups and
abs. A couple of push-ups sets are enough
to make me feel SO UNCONFORTABLE I KNOW I
HAVE TO STOP. Sometimes I do, other times
I take courage and do two more sets,
feeling very bad all the time.
It feels like a sudden change in blood
pressure. I feel dizzy and my vision is
not very good. I find it difficult to
focus on objects and I hate when just ONE
eye gets sort of blurry, more than the
other - it feels to me like a neurological
disorder. Sometimes, I get tinnitus in one
year - somebody told me it's a warning
you're going to faint. I never fainted at
the gym, but I did reduce my workout
prominently, in virtue of common sense.
But now, even few push-ups are enough to
feel terrible.
For an hour or so after experiencing these
symptoms, I keep feeling funny, like the
circulation in my head isn't going fine, a
feeling of pressure in my ears and head.
It sucks. Honestly, it sucks. I'd give
everything not to feel like this. After an
hour, eventually I feel fine again.
I've told doctors. The last one told me to
check the heart. Before I do so, probably
at least two weeks will pass.
I would like come help for now. Anyone
else feeling like this?
All help very appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Posted: 09-28-07 20:45pm
You might want to talk to your doctor
about a stress test. It is done on a
treadmill just like at the gym. Only the
monitor you bodies functions including you
pulse rate and heart rate while the test
is being done. Could be a number of
things. You blood pressure could be doing
something funky. Could also be your
overdoing it a little bit. Slow it down
and see what happens. Consult your doctore
if you have any more problems. Are you
getting any heart palpatations during this
period?
