Feeling dizzy and lightheaded?

[Anonymous]

hey guys. I feel dizzy and lightheaded everyday now for about a week. I work out A LOT. I run, lift weights, and all that but I do a lot if it. however I still drink a lot of soda and eat junk food. I was wondering if that could contribute to my feelings of dizziness. I mean I lose a lot of stuff through sweating and I probably don't take anything in with all the junk food. please help me. and don't say go to the doctor Because I don't have a doctor neither do I have insurance. thanks

iron defiency, lack of vitamins and lack of nutrients, junk food has no nutritious value so your not getting omegas, dha, b12 b6 b complex vitamins, iron, zinc magnesium, etc in your diet and your body is losing energy. its all in your diet.

i was the same way I was addicted to junk and I'm anemic too, so its even worse I just couldn't get out of bed I felt so lousy and no energy. I started eating 2 boiled eggs for breakfast, had a banana or oatmeal, for lunch id do grilled chicken salad with tons of greens, veggies, bell peppers, olives, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrot, beets, tons of veggies with balsamic vinegrete, for snacks id do apple with peanut butter, or greek yogurt with fruit, or grapes, may be dark chocolate almonds sometimes, or frozen yogurt, and for dinner, roasted salmon with lemon sauce, some brown rice and asparagus and broccoli, man I had so many nutrients in my body, I felt so energized each day, felt strong I could move 30 boxes and not be tired, my skin and hair looked great, everything felt right, I even slept better.

u need to eat like a proper human being, not like a little kid on junk food.

Im willing to bet you aren't eating enough of the right kinds of foods and you maybe have a nutrient deficiency.

First of all, the junk food needs to go. Quite frankly, you aren't burning as many calories as you think you are. Sweating is not a determination of how many calories you burn and the junk food is negating what you do in the gym. With as much as you eat in junk food and drink in soda, half of that could be used to eat a healthy meal with tons of other calories saved in addition. All those extra calories really make a difference.

Start taking a multivitamin.

Also, begin to eat fruit, and veggies at every meal. Whole grain products that list "100% whole wheat/grain" as the first ingredient and cut out all prepackaged stuff (whole wheat bread being the exception).

I would replace the junk food with better food, and see if that helps. I bet it would. Drinking a lot of soda could definitely make you dizzy. You might be dehydrated from too much soda and not enough water and too much salt.

My first guess would be that you have low blood pressure. A lot of places like walmart or walgreens, cvs, riteaid, etc have blood pressure machines you can use to test it.

Maybe you should slow down on the junk food & all the exercising.

Go to a friend that knows medical stuff or parents because it maybe a shortage of a certain vitamin
