extremly ill after exercising
hi there, I have terrible bouts of falling ill either immediatly or hours after I exercise, its mainly when I do cardio. Occaionally this happens even if I have not exercised. I am very concious with what I eat and how much water I drink. tI starts off with the top of my head getting sore and feeling exhausted, if I don't start eating immediatly I get blurred vision, irregular heart beat, cant understand what people are saying to me and feel like the life has been sucked out of me, usually once I eat I come right quickly but sometimes it can take 2 hours. Doctors have been no help so far, I am a personal trainer so this is becoming a real problem in my life :( I also have digestion problems and unusual energy levels i.e I will either be hypo or tired and grumpy. If anyone has any suggestions please help

Thanks so much for your reply. I've been back to see my doctor yet again and they are running further tests on my heart, if that doesn't show anything we will be investigating some of the other possible causes you have listed. I really appreciate the time you took to reply.
Thanks again

I suspect low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Try ingesting a hard candy or some fruit juice (or milk) when this happens and see if it helps.

The symptoms can be due to doing more than what your body can tolerate, staring exercises without proper warm up, lung causes like asthma, heart causes (angiography, stress TMT, ECHO, EKG should all be done) or even due to muscle pull. Electrolyte imbalance and dehydration too could be a cause.
If you easily getting tired while exercising, there are a few possibilities you should look at. First is a heart issue that can be taken care of by an EKG, treadmill test and echo. The next is anemia. The third cause could be low blood sugar or even a case of high sugar as in diabetes. Another cause is poor sweating as in Sjogren’s syndrome.
Ofcourse if the exercise level is not systematically increased, one would get tired soon and it may cause dizziness and fainting as the blood vessels do not dilate as fast as required to increase the blood flow. Hence it is always wise to start exercising slowly and not push your limits to start with.
A drop in blood pressure during exercise may indicate a heart disease. This needs to be followed up further with a cardiologist and maybe further tests like a nuclear stress test, angiography and ECHO may be scheduled.
Since I cannot examine you and know other related conditions you may be having, nor is a detailed history possible on net, I have listed the various possibilities that should be looked into. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!
