Young men and women, often well into there 20's need more food than those who are older.
I do light activity usually 4-5 days a week and sometimes eat exercise calories depending on how I feel. I feel I'm eating enough calories, but seeing a doctor which others suggested is probably the best option. I really hope it's nothing serious.
You're really not. I just saw your goal weight post.
Anthony, I eat as much as you do, and I'm a 54 year old woman.
There are a lot of red flags here, considering your goal weight and these symptoms combined with other things you're saying. I think you should tell your doctor everything and get some help.
The red flags which have been mentioned aren't something I really have given much thought to as of recently.
I should have mentioned I also have a fasting day once a week every Friday. Another thing that could possibly be contributing to how I feel.
I'm very confused about my health, body, and fitness goals right now and don't know what is best suited for me. All I know right now is I just want this pain to stop which is something I will discuss with my doctor.
You're just trying to help though so thanks to you and others for taking time to comment.
You're a 5"8 Male and trying to get down to 115lbs.. My best guess is that you are eating nowhere near enough, and this is your bodies way of telling you. This is just a guess though, see a doctor who will be able to diagnose what's causing this.
For comparisons sake, I'm a 5"8 44 year old woman and anything under 143lbs makes me look sick, unhealthy and makes the top half of my body look emaciated. I eat between 1600-2000 calories a day and am losing.
Sorry for the late response, but the main reason I was thinking of making 115 lbs as my goal weight was because it will help me with cardio due to being lighter on my feet and less wear and tear on my legs.
I may need to reevaluate my goals though if my symptoms continue though.0 -

I honestly can't visualise what a 5"8 woman would look like at that weight, let a lone a man. Yes, definitely a good idea to reevaluate your goal.1 -

That is an unhealthy target for a 5'8" male. Yeah, you'll be light on your feet, but infinitely harder on your legs thanks to the lack of nourishment you'd need to get there putting you at increased risk for fractures.
Go see a doctor. Might also want to discuss your health and weight goals so you can get an idea of a healthy weight target.1 -
I just wanted wanted to give an update.
It turns out the condition I was dealing with was due to dehydration.
Atleast it wasn't anything serious...6 -

Best news. Keep taking care of yourself.0

As I suspected! Dehydration can really cause a lot of strange symptoms. Stay hydrated and if need be set a reminder in your phone to drink at regular intervals. Glad it wasn't anything serious! Thank you for the update!0

See a doctor. It could be caused by all kinds of things- for example,I'm on prednisolone for a long term condition and get these symptoms when my dose drops low.
Please get expert medical advice!0 -
Ah sorry- just read your last comment. That's good news!0

so....I have this problem and I have dysautonomia. I would def. go see a doctor. The dizziness upon standing is a huge symptom of the disorder You might have a blood pressure problem.0

Make an appointment with internal medicine or go to a walk-in clinic. Get a professional's advice on a healthy weight range. If you're feeling light headed, please ask someone to drive you. What happens if you're driving and you get dizzy? I wish you good health.0
