Can anxiety cause dizziness after
excercise?
It doesn't always occur when I excercise,
only after i've finished.
I'm not sure if I would describe it as
vertigo it's like my head is reeling and I
feel like I can't stand up and need to lie
down on the floor.
Sometimes it's also accompanied by nausea.

Are You Over Doing It? Posted: 08-30-05 01:41am
Hi
what type of exercises are you doing?
You maybe over breathing/over doing it
which can cause the lightheaded feeling
which in turn the bodies natural reaction
is to try and lie you down to return to
normal carbon/oxygen levels. I read on a
site about hyperventalation which is when
you over breath which upsets the bodies
carbon/oxygen levels, good news is, is
that if you were going to pass out you
would have after the first episode.
Next time when you are down the gym, take
it easier and see if that helps. If it
doesn't make any difference to your
symptons, report your problem to the
doctor and have a minor heart/lung check
up.
Let us know how you get on.
