sadlerlj14

So i went for an hour walk yesterday (2 miles forward and back) so (4 miles). when i came back the first thing i did was drink water then i lied down. When i was lying down my head kept pulsing and hurt. My diet has been good. todays breakfast was 1 whole english muffin with 2tbs of penutbutter. lunch i had salad with veggies and light ranch with banana. My mom already told me what im going to have for dinner which will be a tuna sandwhich with whole weat bread w/ broccoli. my snacks were ritz cheese crackers. I want to do the same thing today but biking except i dont want to feel how i felt yesterday... please help!!

Based on your diet, I would guess that the dizziness is from low blood sugar. Try eating some carbs and drinking some water before your walk.

Check your blood pressure and heart rate after exercising as well. Try eating a banana before going out, or maybe mix up a smoothie with some protein in there as well. Don't go overboard with the food right before a workout though, or you could get cramps. Personally, if I eat anything within a half hour of exercising, I get horrible side stitches that make me stop. Give it some time to settle.

I know that if I don't slowly lower my heart rate after a decent cardio session, I get a pounding headache. I have a heart rate monitor now and it helps me avoid that a lot.
