Felt REALLY dizzy and lightheaded after a hot shower. Can someone explain this?
Hot showers (any heat really) dilate (open up) the blood vessels in an attempt to bring down body temperature. Excessive or rapid dilation can lead to a drop in blood pressure, which sounds like what you experienced. Some other signs on sudden hypotension (low blood pressure) include sweating, nausea, vomiting, tunnel vision, ringing in ears or sounds appearing far away, lightheadedness, feeling dizzy and fainting. This hypotension can also happen if you stand up too quickly from a sitting or lying down position, and can be prevented by getting up slowly. This is called postural hypotension and can be made worse by things such as a hot shower, as this will further drop blood pressure. When you feel an episode coming on, lie down, or sit with your head between your knees to aid the return of blood and vital oxygen to your brain. Fainting can cause serious injuries. Also try having a cooler shower. Cold constricts blood vessels.
What does it feel like to faint? I just watched my wife sit on the bathroom floor with a vacant stare and unresponsive. What is going on when you faint? Can you hear people, and are you conscious of what is going on around you?
I can, sadly, now answer this question.I was getting my blood drawn. Now, thing to know about me: I am deathly afraid of needles and blood. So you can imagine how horrific this experience sounds to me. But I had to do it.When the doctor took out the needle, I made the mistake of looking straight at it going into my arm. I realized a couple of seconds after that what I was doing was not a good idea, since I am trypanophobic, and turned away immediately. But then I saw a couple black spots in my vision while I was looking at the wall opposite me as a distraction. I thought I was just getting dizzy from being so scared, but then the black dots kept spreading and spreading until they took up my entire field of vision. The last thing I remember hearing was the doctor saying, “She looks pale.”And then I was sleeping. Pitch black darkness surrounded me, all was silent. I was sitting in my bed, sleeping. But why was I sleeping? Hadn’t I been getting my blood drawn a few minutes ago? And how can I think while I’m sleeping?All of the sudden, my eyes flew open, and I found myself pitched forward in the chair I was sitting in with the doctor trying to hold me up. I sat up and looked, very confused, at the many faces of the doctors that now surrounded me.“What happened?” I asked.“You fainted,” my mom said.“That makes sense.” A pause, then nausea overwhelmed me. “I’m going to throw up.”So I threw up in the garbage can. But I hadn’t eaten anything that morning, so it was all spit. Pretty gross if you ask me.As I lay down on the table with ice packs, pillows, and water, I asked my mom again what exactly had happened. She said that I had gone pale and a real shade of green. And then my eyes rolled back in my head and I fell forward. I was only out for 10 seconds at max, but they had to take the needle out of my arm because I had fallen forward and you were supposed to keep your arm still while they are drawing your blood. Thankfully, they had enough blood and didn’t have to have be come back for another test.And while I was left on the table, the world still spinning, I thought, Man, my friends are going to get a kick out of this.To specifically answer your question, I was not aware of anything while I was out. Not sound, nor light or activity. It was just all darkness and confusion.
What should I do when I feel dizzy after a heavy lifting set?
This is pretty common. There is a possibility it’s the result of bad breathing or inadequate blood sugar. Make sure you’re well-hydrated, that you had something to eat about an hour prior to working out (but not less than an hour), and that you are breathing consistently as you lift.Chances are though, it’s exertion. Blood is rushing to your muscles as you exert all of this effort, and your legs in particular are massive muscles using a lot of blood (and consuming a lot of oxygen). That’s a lot less oxygen available for your stomach and brain, which can make you feel nauseous and light-headed respectively. It can also be caused by dramatic changes in blood pressure. The muscle strain and lack of available oxygen causes your heart to beat faster, raising your blood pressure.Try increasing your heart rate before you begin lifting, such as with some cardio. It could also be a good idea to take a knee after your finish your deadlifts. This will prevent the blood from rushing out of your head too quickly (as happens when you stand upright) and give your body a few moments to normalize.Try these 15 minute exercises which make a real difference: The Vertigo and Dizziness Program vsl cb
7 weeks pregnant and feeling very light-headed?
Your blood volume increases by 50% when you're pregnant, sometimes when you stand up or do alot of activity you get that head rush feeling. Eat something, if you haven't, get a drink and take a seat or bring your center of gravity low to the ground. Relax until the dizzy feeling passes, it's pretty normal. If you're really worried your doctor can help you the best. Prenatal vitamins only increase this dizzy feeling so you might want to take them like a 1/2 an hour before bed.
I cant jog/run for longer than 2 minutes?
Make sure you are eating right. That's key. Also, try starting with a brisk walk. Walk for five minutes, run for 2-3 minutes, walk for five minutes, run for 2-3 minutes. Just try to keep up your cardio for at least 20 minutes at a time. That's about how long it takes to burn up your glycogen stores, and that's your most efficient form of energy. After that first twenty minutes, you will start working on your body fat.
Why does one feel dizzy and weak after masturbation? Is it because it involves loss of energy or are there some other factors behind it?
Normal people never feel dizzy after masturbation. It involves no loss of “energy.” Masturbation has no negative effects on the human body.That said, some people occasionally get dizzy after orgasm, be it from sex or masturbation. If this happens to you all the time, however, that is not normal. But you are not alone, and it happens to men and women. Since masturbation does not in any way drain “energy" from the body, there are indeed other factors behind it: several medical conditions can cause dizziness after orgasm. See this resource: http://www.dizziness-and-balance...So either you are doing it wrong (just how long are you fapping for? What positionsare you in?), you have some condition that causes dizziness after orgasm (see the list in the link, though there can be others), or your symptoms are psychosomatic: you have been fed so many ridiculous lies about masturbation being bad and draining you of “energy" that you now have an unhealthy guilt complex over it and your body makes you feel psysically unwell because you feel emotionally bad. You shouldn't. Ignore the lies that your ayurveda priests and sham healers spread: semen is not “energy" and masturbation has no negative effects on the human body.You may need a therapist to get over your guilt over this natural, normal, healthy behavior; or go in person to see a real, non-ayurveda, medical doctor to check why a normal orgasm is giving you abnormal symptoms. A thorough physical may find an underlying problem that was affecting other aspects of your life too. Or, just relax. Hopefully it will go away. Maybe drink water beforehand or fap sitting down.
Why do I get dizzy after only 15 minutes of working out?
Assuming your health is otherwise fine, there are a couple of reasons why you may get dizzy and light headed while working out.The first cause may be due to a sudden change in blood pressure, especially if you’re a rookie to physical fitness. After being sedentary for so long, your body doesn’t really understand the requirements of this new stimuli (maybe do low to moderate exercising to start instead - like walking or cycling).The other cause can happen to anyone, especially someone who is dieting/fasting, or suffers from diabetes, and that is low blood sugar levels.Now you may be asking yourself, which is it? Well if you do feel either of these, stop working out immediately. Go sit down. If the sensation goes away in a couple of minutes, odds are it’s a blood pressure issue. If you feel weak and/or tired, or the feeling doesn’t subside, it’s probably a drop in blood sugar. Either way, it’s your body saying it’s time to take a rest. If you feel as if you’ve recovered enough, slowly work back into your exercising. If it comes on again, that means you’re done for the day. Go home, and try again tomorrow.If this sensation persists over multiple gym sessions, go see your physician.I hope the best for you!

Sick with fever- chills and sweating?
This is what i know. The flu usually begins abruptly, with a fever between 102 and 106°F. (An adult typically has a lower fever than a child.) Other common symptoms include a flushed face, body aches, chills, headache, nausea, and lack of energy. Some people have dizziness or vomiting. The fever usually lasts for a day or two, but can last 5 days. Somewhere between day 2 and day 4 of the illness, the "whole body" symptoms begin to subside, and respiratory symptoms begin to increase. The flu virus can settle anywhere in the respiratory tract, producing symptoms of a cold, croup, sore throat, bronchiolitis, ear infection, or pneumonia. The most prominent of the respiratory symptoms is usually a dry, hacking cough. Most people also develop a sore throat and headache. Nasal discharge (runny nose) and sneezing are common. These symptoms (except the cough) usually disappear within 4-7 days. Sometimes, the fever returns. Cough and tiredness usually last for weeks after the rest of the illness is over. Influenza A usually arrives in the late winter or early spring. Influenza B can appear at any time of the year. The most common way to catch the flu is by breathing in droplets from coughs or sneezes. Less often, it is spread when you touch a surface such as a faucet handle or phone that has the virus on it, and then touch your own mouth, nose, or eyes. Symptoms appear 1-7 days later (usually within 2-3 days). Because the flu spreads through the air and is very contagious, it often strikes a community all at once. This creates a cluster of school and work absences. Many students become sick within 2 or 3 weeks of the flu's arrival in a school. Tens of millions of people in the United States get the flu each year. Most get better within a week or two, but thousands become sick enough to be hospitalized. About 36,000 people die each year from complications of the flu.
Why do I feel weak and shaky when I'm hungry, but my sugar isn't low when I check it?
I don't know - I often experience the same thing (need to eat now so a little shaky).I've also checked my blood sugar when very hungry - within normal range. Used to think I was experiencing medical hypoglycaemia - but nope. Normal hunger.Probably two things going on:1) my blood sugar is probably lower than my body likes, even though in normal range2) my body is signalling to me to eat Our bodies also switch between energy sources, so if we don't have sugars being absorbed from food in our gut into our blood, it needs to switch to other sources. The switch might be slow, so we may feel low in energy. Or, we aren't used to burning that fuel source, so we feel weak and shaky. I used to think it was very bad to let myself get weak and shaky from hunger, and still do eat as often I need to eat to feel comfortable. And I eat the things my body likes - carbs are a close friend of mine! However, I've decided that while the weak and shaky can get in the way of work I want to do (particularly thinking work) it's not doing any damage to my body, and is just a signal from my body saying: I'm low in sugar and should eat. Sounds like your body deals with hunger in a similar way to mine: I say, eat what feels good to your body (in moderation), and don't do any unusual highly intense exercise when very very hungry!
