OK so sometimes after my workouts I get really light headed. When I drink a Gatorade it usually helps but not this time I felt like I was going to faint at the store and got really hot. Anything that I'm doing wrong possibly so I don't feel this way or something I can take

    Most likely not eating enough to sustain your workouts.

    Are you drinking water during the workout? And enough before the workout?

    A few things:
    Are you eating enough?
    Are you drinking enough water during the day?
    Have you talked to your doctor?

    How much are you eating/netting?
    Are you working out fasted?
    How often are you working out and for how long?
    Are you just starting to workout after not having worked out before/for a long while?
    What are you doing as a workout and how often?
    Have you consulted with a doctor to make sure there isn't any other issues that might be in play?

    "I eat my meals" doesn't answer how much you are taking in. What is your calorie intake?

    What are you doing to burn 800-1000 calories a day. That is a lot of calories.

    Best to get a blood pressure cuff to see what your BP is doing.....too high????....too low......usually an electrolyte problem. Taking Magnesium and Potassium may help.

    1) see a doctor

    2) you're probably not burning that much unless you're working out intensely for 2-3 hours

    3) you're probably not eating enough
