Feeling ill during workout?

[Kinky_Slutt]

Yesterday I want to a Muy Thai class (mma) and I barely made it to the 30 minute mark. It’s a pretty intense class and I’m always out of breath however yesterday I felt seriously ill. I could barely breath, my vision went blurry, I couldnt stay standing and I had to leave halfway through the class. I’m not new to it nor was I feeling ill before hand. I don’t know what happened and I really want it to not happen again. Any advice? I do have exercised induced asthma but took my inhaler and I ate ten minutes before I went to class. I don’t know what else could’ve caused it

It's just an off day. I've had plenty of days where I'll pick up the weights and start... but I'm just not feeling it and I say fuck it. Today is the perfect example. I have sinus shit going on and it's making my eye, ear, and my teeth hurt. I'm not doing shit/didn't do shit today. I had vertigo for most of the day and actually did puke. Right now I'm just slamming beers and trying to get to the sleep zone before 3 in the morning here. ... I got less than 30 minutes for that goal.

Gotta go... got beers to slam.

Ten minutes isn't long enough to get the nutrients in your body, plus, that shit would make me wanna puke. So that alone will make you feel bad.

You should hydrate like MFer a few hours before class too. If you're sweating a lot, make sure you're getting sodium and potassium in your diet.

At the earlier feeling for dizziness, nausea or dysphoria, take the intensity down a few notches. You want to be on the edge, not over the damn cliff.

I am not a medical doctor and this is not medical advice.

Thank you that all makes sense, I’ll incorporate that into my daily schedule

[Beckybooboo]

Like some have said, it's important to eat foods high in protein and hydrate before working out. I'm thinking you should be able to tell if it was an episode of asthma? If it continues, see a doctor.

Did you eat before the class? This sounds like a lack of sugar in you body. High intensity classes need carbs, that are turned into sugar for immediate energy release.

[Kinky_Slutt]

A bagel a bit before class

[pascal_climbs]

Indeed not enough. Have a light meal some 2h before training.

[Truthatanycost]

Consider digestion is one of the bodies most intensive and energy draining processes... you ate 10 mins before your class. When I do strength training, I drink a shake over an hour before and that has digestive enzymes in it.

[Massageman]

Whenever I feel ill, tired, dizzy, whatever- the first things I do are: A. Get a glass of water. B. Sit down for about 3 minutes and drink it. That usually works for me.

[Massageman]

Eat at least an hour before exercise, preferably longer. Eating a substantial amount of food just before a workout confuses the body, divides the blood flow between skeletal muscles and the digestive system- leaving very little for the brain, hence blurry vision/faintness/breathing issues made worse.

I might be worth your time checking your blood pressure. But for now other reason but fatigue, you probably have just over exerted yourself, if you pushed yourself any harder, you probably would have vomited, and passed out. What did you eat that day, and did you drink anything.

Do some reasearch and talk to Dr.. These are experiences I know or have had.

* Early signs of sick

* Dehydrated

* Heart issue

[Kinky_Slutt]

Thank you, I’ll talk to a doctor about it

[DryGermanGuy]

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). I was in the same situation two or three times.

[Kinky_Slutt]

Thank you, I’ll look into that

[es20490446e]

When training you may feel tired, but not get feelings of displeasure. Like feeling ill.

You shall reduce intensity, and focus on volume.

[es20490446e]

Eat fruit.

[Kinky_Slutt]

Thank you I’ll try that

[es20490446e]

Nice 👌

[glennos89]

Did you eat well enough that day before training?

Maybe you were dehydrated

[Kinky_Slutt]

I had a bagel before and even when I drank water I still didn’t feel okay

[glennos89]

Try some water with dextrose. The sugars will give you a boost when you feel weak

[exitseven]

maybe blood sugar issue, if it happens again you need to see the doc

[Kinky_Slutt]

Okay thank you I will

Talk to a doctor before doing another class.

[RingOfFire]

The doctor will probably want to see you to make sure nothing is wrong and clear you to go back to your classes. That's the smart move.

[RingOfFire]

Chances are it's nothing serious, but you want to be sure that you don't into yourself. So you should go to a doctor before you go to your next class.

[RingOfFire]

You want to be sure you don't injure yourself.

[Kinky_Slutt]

I agree I’ll stop by before my next class just to be safe

[RingOfFire]

Smart move. 👍

Check dehydration, too little salt or heart problems. Heart problems are unlikely at your age but still a possibility.

[msc545]

See a doctor. Don't ask random people on the internet.

[Pohjolan]

How long since you ate before said exercise?

[Kinky_Slutt]

I ate a bagel 10 mins before but besides that a few bites hours ago

[Ifdyourmom]

Sounds like a panic attack. They happen when you freak out about something, and you can't control the pace your heart goes. Something must have really freaked you out

[Bklynbadboy12]

You went a little to hard you have to listen to your body and go according to your fitness level

[Kinky_Slutt]

Thank you I’ll try to pace myself a bit better

[Danny_dan92]

Stop working out then

[KrakenAttackin]

How was your hydration level?

[KrakenAttackin]

@msc545. Is correct, if your symptoms persist you should speak with a doctor.

Are you anemic by chance? This would account these symptoms.

[msc545]

Sort of sounds like acute CV stuff.

[KrakenAttackin]

@msc545 Very possible.

[Kinky_Slutt]

I drank water when I thirsty throughout the day but not to much, I have low iron but am not anemic. And sorry what’s CV?

[KrakenAttackin]

Cardiovascular.

[KrakenAttackin]

Anemia is lack of Iron in the blood. Iron promotes hemoglobin, which is what transports oxygen through your system.

Awww you poor thing

[msc545]

The only thing you can depend on here is the advice to see a doctor.
