    I've been told that adults should get between 7-9 hours of sleep everyday. So that, combined with maybe not eating enough "energetic" foods?

    You're going to feel so much better now you've upped them.

    Also wanted to add - it might be worth seeing a doctor for your anxiety issues, if you haven't already? There's so many wonderful therapies and coping techniques around these days.

    Seriously, has anyone but me noticed this young woman does not need to lose weight?

    I just assumed she's not very tall...?

    You weigh 120 lbs and are trying to lose 7 to 10. You do not need to lose anymore weight.

    That is what I was thinking too.
    She probably needs to exercise to tone and reshape her body vs losing those 7-10 pounds.

    then start picking up heavy things. It'll seriously help.

    ...and no, you won't get "bulky."

    Look up Stronglifts 5x5, Starting Strength, New Rules of Lifting for Women, or Convict Conditioning.

    and check this out too:

    I get dizzy when i have slept less, but not too tired. I get tired, dizzy and weak feeling when its a combo of less sleep and working out too much previous day and not eating enough.

    This^ I'm glad you upped your calorie intake. You will feel better with a healthier approach to your body. In your profile you state that you used to weigh 108 3 years ago. At the age of 18 you weren't even fully grown for crying out loud!

    It's fine. Her goal BMI is 20.6 which is well into the healthy range. :smile:

    You're describing physical symptoms of anxiety. I have relatives who react in this way too. PS, they eat like crap, and I'm certain that if they'd eat better (more), their symptoms would subside.

    So please eat more and continue to get counseling with your anxiety problems.

    How much water are you drinking? I don't see any logged in. You could just be dehydrated.

    I was diagnosed with anxiety; so I just tried to calm down whenever it occurred. Then I was in the doctor's office when it happened and it turns out I have atrial fibrillation. It's very hard for the doctors to catch if they aren't there when it happens. I've always wondered how many people with anxiety actually have AFib or Flutter.

    If you have a pulse-oxymeter that has an EKG-type readout, pop it on when the feeling happens and look at the readout. AFib goes up and down the full length, then in the top half, then skips, the full again, etc. which is to say it is extremely erratic. Anxiety looks different. Atrial flutter (which causes extreme exhaustion; but for me is hard to feel) also shows up - as an extremely extremely fast heartbeat.

    BTW, too little water can also make you dizzy. Good luck.

    Paula: I would highly doubt it. I'm only 21 and no heart problems in my family. i had an ecg not long ago

    Indeed it was anxiety mixed with fatigue. I realized how i started feeling dizzy and it was after reading something online about some people being dizzy when exercising and i started feeling anxious, dizzy, nausea and stuff.
