Am I okay, is this serious?

[sofia_kane]

So every Tuesday is clean day around here, I sweep all the floors, wash all the floors, clean the bathroom, clean my parents room and mine, and I vacuum all carpets. We live in a small apartment so it's not too much work or so I think... almost every Tuesday about half way through my clean day, I get extremely dizzy and lightheaded. I never used to be like this but it all started back when I did co-op at a retirement home and fainted 3 times on the last day there! Thats when this all started, all of a sudden I can't do much without feeling like I'm going to faint or throw up! Is there something going on? Is this serious? Should I see my nurse practitioner about this? Thank you in advance!

Go to the hospital. If its after eating sugar it could be diabetes if its from exertion it could be any number of things ranging from harmless to very bad : news.health.com/.../
So go to the doctor and get everything checked out, its probably nothing serious but its better to know for sure rather then simply letting it go and hoping for the best.

I will definitely be bringing it up at my next appointment, heart problems run in the family so I will definitely want to get that checked out, I know I was tested for diabetes not too long ago and I tested negative so I know it can't be diabetes but that also runs in the family! Thank you for bringing that to my attention! The link you provided was very informational and helped big time, thank you!

Like I said it could be nothing, my friend would have this happen when he worked out and the doctors didn't find anything wrong with him so I don't think you should panick but as I said better safe then sorry. And your quite welcome.

What kind of food are you eating and how much are you eating each day?

[sofia_kane]

Mainly healthy foods because my mum is on a diet, so I eat what she eats but on occasion I will eat sweets but not all the time. I try to eat 3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) but on some days I wake up late so I only eat lunch and dinner.

What kind of healthy food? Are you eating any protein? Plus how hungry do you feel during the day?

I know if I'm low on food and I try to workout or move around. I become dizzy easily and want to throw up.

[sofia_kane]

Oh we eat a lot of protein here haha my mum went for the gastric bypass surgery so when we have dinner meat is always included! Umm let's see, I love my fruits and I find I'm always snacking on apples haha and veggies are offered with dinner as well! I'll be honest I don't feel too hungry during the day but I make sure I eat so I don't feel sick!

Then I would see a doctor just in case. Since I'm wondering if you have low blood sugar issues. So I would see the doctor to make sure that's not the case.

Thank you very much! I will definitely be bringing this up at my next appointment! Thank you for the help! :)
