Does anyone else throw up after working out?

You should talk to a doctor about this

That's usually an issue with peri-workout nutrition. Pay attention to what you eat before/during/after working out. What you eat and how far in advance you eat will depend on what works best for you.

are you pushing yourself too hard? why not try a few days of walking a track (indoor if the weather's bad) take it a mile or two a day and see where that goes. There's plenty of calories burned while walking, and you can see if it's just you pushing too hard causing you to throw up. I almost ALWAYS get nauseous after the gym, and I realized it was because I was always trying to keep up with my neighboring elliptical, and they were capable of more than myself.

The only time that I ever feel sick during or after working out, is if I have eaten a fair amount before working out (Typically within 45 minutes). I can, however, have snacks and not feel sick. If you eat before working out, that could be it. If not, I would recommend seeing your doctor for advice

Maybe back off a bit. It sounds like you're just going too hard. Whatever you're doing should not be making you sick. Also it could take some figuring to find out what you should and shouldn't eat before working out and how long before.

I can do a full lifting workout right after a meal but running nope. About 200 calories an hour before and then only easy-to-digest carbs like breakfast cereal, toast with jam etc.

^^^^ How much are you doing, to what intensity and how long have you been away from exercise. I sometimes feel like puking if I have really pushed myself - this is not what you want to be doing straight away though (I don't really need to be doing in now lol). How about investing in a very cheap heart rate monitor and then monitoring your exertion - there will be a book with it and it will show you cardio and fat burn (very erroneously labelled) zones. - don't go more than aerobic (and I would suggest stay at the bottom end) for a few weeks. Also it may be good to get yourself checked out by the doctor just to make sure there is nothing wrong. Also as someone above said watch what you eat - try and have something but don't eat a couple of hours before a meal unless you are doing it first thing in the morning - if you do this just have a very small carb item like a banana to get you going if you need it.

Good luck

My experience has been that when I don't give myself enough of a break (1-2 minutes) between heavier sets or rapid exercises, I have a tendency to feel close to throwing up. If I don't eat before a workout (1 or 2 hours in advance) the feelings of nausea can be worse. When I feel sickness coming on I just sit down and breathe slow and deep. This helps me steer my body away from actually throwing up.

Maybe TMI.

This has only happened to me twice and both times it was cold outside, my nose was running, and I sucked in so much snot that I think it had to come up.

I have had friends tell me that they have thrown up after a really hard workout. IMO, if you are working out so hard you vomit maybe you are overdoing it? That's just me, though.

If it is happening with regularity and you can't attribute it directly to something you are doing, I would consider seeing a doctor.

Agree with when and what you're eating before working out.

I'm the opposite if I'm not fueled enough i get sick, so are you eating properly also? Obviously this doesn't apply if you're having a heavy meal and working out half hour later!

You can feel nauseous while or after working out if you:
-Push yourself too hard
-Haven't eaten enough recently
-Have eaten too close to your workout (especially aerobic exercise, not usually anaerobic)
-If you are pre-diabetic or diabetic if you haven't eaten very recently.
-Not hydrated enough
-Hydrated very excessively
-Overheat too much
-Wear a tight constricting weight belt and/or clothing and strain with it on
-Have one of several other medical conditions... have a medical checkup recently? Definitely get a checkup if one of the above isnt true for you.


Pay attention to your body and see what happens as you make changes after you get a checkup.

Have you tried to modify your workout in any way to check the impact?

After what my body (not my mind) perceives as a hard workout, if I don't eat something I will want to vomit. This is usually only after an extremely intenese workout though - like 10 miles of speedwork.

However, every one is different. You are new to it. Your body may not be capable 100% of what you want it to be capable of yet!

Good luck! I would also consider speaking with a physician if it doesn't resolve itself.

Ah, I get this feeling when I drink too much water in the early part of my workout with my trainer and then he makes me do box jumps and burpees......then I puke when I get home LOL!

I would recommend backing off and slowly getting your body used to it, I do the same; go like a bull at a gate but easing yourself into it would be my recommendation from my own experience when I started doing some hard exercises

If you drink a lot while training, you can also get this.

How long before working out are you eating? I have thrown up before, but very rarely. Only when pushing too hard, or on a full stomach.

i eat a couple of hours before and i'm ok usually is the intense workout that provoke it and is a good sign as well means you worked good
