Nauseous after working out

LosingLaurensWay

There are times when I'm extremely nauseous after cardio. I'm not pushing myself any harder than the day before and I always make sure I've eaten something prior so I have some energy to burn. I make sure to stay hydrated and sometimes getting sugar in my system helps. Also I'm on metformin for PCOS. Any help would be great.

To be honest you've listed everything I would've given as advice.

Eaten a snack about an hour beforehand? Check.
Made sure to stay hydrated/good sugar levels? Check.
Not pushed too hard? Check.

At this point I'm not really sure what would cause it other than maybe you think your body can handle more than it actually can at the moment. Sometimes our bodies are just fickle. I'll have one day where I am killing it on the elliptical and the next I can just tell that I am not going to do well today, so I try and take it easier, and I have to accept that today will be a slower day for me.

Do you change what sort of cardio you do? Or what you eat prior to working out? Or the time interval between the food and the workout?

I'm asking because I could have a full breakfast and do a no-impact cardio like the elliptical 2 minutes later and feel fine. But if I ate a full breakfast, I wouldn't be able to go for a run for about an hour and a half without feeling terribly ill.
