any suggestions/ tips to help with nausea after working out?

Every time I go all out at the gym I'm nauseous for 20-30 minutes after where I have to lay down.

Hmmm

    Maybe it's hypoglycemia.....? How soon before you workout do you eat? Maybe you need to adjust meal/snack times to coincide with workouts.

    Think about your breathing. Not breathing right is what messes me up.

    This happens to me, too. What I've found on-line is to basically make sure you are hydrated (but not waterlogged). Also, a lot of it has to do with the timing of your meals - making sure you've got some protein in you before you start (but a bit of time before working out - not immediately) and be certain to get some protein into your system soon after.

    if you're not used to going absolutely full blast it can do that, it's a natural bodily reaction.. just watch footballs players at the first couple of work outs in the season.

    Eat a snack beforehand. If I ever tried to do weights on an empty stomach, I'd feel nauseated, too. Try a banana or a granola bar.

    What??! Eat before you work out. If you are working out in the morning and haven't eaten since the evening before, that's close to 12 hours with no fuel in your tank... fuel your body!! Even if it's small. (A woman passed out at the gym the other day (after grabbing the trash can to throw up in!!), she told the rescue workers who were called in that she hadn't eaten since the night before... she'd done a crazy hard workout too... )

    EAT!! :happy:

    I work out in the evenings and sip BCAAs during my work out. When I eat within 2 or so hours before working out I really DO throw up. :( I was hoping it was just normal after lifting.. Dang!
