I'm dizzy...

So I went to the gym around 4 p.m. today, and had a really good workout. I normally don't sweat too much, but I was sweating like a pig today, and felt good afterwards. When I was getting out of my car to go in the house, I felt a little dizzy but it passed after a few seconds. I came in and started dinner, took a shower, and had a protein iced coffee. I didn't really feel a difference any...i was feeling okay. Then, after I ate dinner I was getting up off the couch and was instantly dizzy. I didn't feel like I was gonna fall, but my head was a little woozy. I've felt this before for a few seconds here and there in the past, but I really wasn't thinking of it all. I'm thinking because of my intense workout that maybe I had burned off a lot of calories and carbs, and maybe my sugar was a little low because of that. But I had 1/2 of an english muffin today, and snuck some FF pringles before even working out. Has anyone else experienced this??? Since then, I've eaten some goldfish and some more pringles and have felt a lot better since then. And for dinner all I had was salmon and broccoli, so I don't think I had too much fat. I know what I feel like whenever i have too much fat, and this wasn't the same! I hardly ever work out later in the day, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I don't remember feeling like this after working out when I work out in the morning. Sorry for rambling, but I was just a little concerned. Thanks! April

Who knows what is causing it. It could be low blood sugar or pressure. If it continues, ck. with your dr. Karla

How ya feeling today, April? Any dizzy spells. It sounds like blood sugar but YOUR the nurse, I'm just a MA. I hope your feeling better today, if not.. contact your doctor. Kay

I'm feeling better today. I was fine after my workout this morning. You're right...I am the nurse! I figured it was either my sugar or my pressure, but I'll be checking with my doc if it happens again. Thanks! April

April, You should get a blood pressure cuff for home, they aren't expensive and it's a great way to check your pressure on your own. I know that mine has dropped significanly since surgery and I get dizzy too from a quick pressure drop, expecially when I get up too fast. Just a thought Regards and hugs, Ronna

Thanks Ronna. I was thinking I could have that, too. It's called orthostatic hypotension, but I've haven't heard of the younger population being affected by it. And my pressure has dropped quite a bit since surgery, so that could be it. Thanks. April
