Since I have been training, I have had three instances where I felt like HELL once my heart rate came down.
The first time was in the beginning and I was pushing myself too hard by trying to work out in the morning and in the afternoon. At the end of that week, my body just gave out and when I left the gym I felt dizzy, irritated, light was hurting my eyes, tired but couldn't lay down.
The second time was two weeks ago. This was the worst time! I know it's easy to say it was because of my diet for the day since I was too busy to eat until lunch time, and when I did, it was a grilled chicken salad. I also barely had any water that day. Well, it just so happened that I had an extremely brutal hour and a half training session that day, and as soon as I left the gym I drove across the street to the store to get orange juice. I was shaking like a leaf and felt really dizzy. By the time I got home, my head was spinning, I was shaking, my ears were ringing, my pulse was pounding away, and gagging but nothing coming up. This lasted for hours until I finally passed out. I was so scared of feeling like that ever again, that I psyched myself out of working out intensely for about a week and I still get nervous when my heart rate goes up because I'm worried it will happen again.
The third time was this past Sunday. I was alone at the gym and running on the treadmill in intervals. The fastest I went was 5.8 which certainly shouldn't have been a problem since I go faster than that all the time and for longer periods of time. It didn't get as bad as the other two times, but I felt some of the same symptoms.
Everyone I have talked to is saying blood sugar, but I'm not sure if I can agree and this is why: The third time, I had oatmeal, and apple and some orange juice for breakfast. I had a grilled chicken sandwich on wheat bread for lunch and I had lots of water before my workout.
Does anyone know any reasons why this could be happening?
Also, has anyone been overexerted and what are the symptoms you feel?
