Dizziness - Blood Pressure Issues, maybe?
Hi all,
I was wondering if I could get some thoughts on a problem I've had. When I'm excersizing strenously, whether it be climbing a big hill while biking or out hiking and my heart rate rises and I start breathing heavily (all normal)...I've noticed that if I stop immediately to catch my breath, or come to a stop light I get extremely dizzy and lightheaded and nauseaus (to the point of puking sometimes...its embarrasing, I know). BUT, what I've finally discovered is that if I don't stop and keep moving, or if I stop, start to feel ill and I start moving again, I'm fine! Eventually I recover and my heart rate comes back to normal. I feel like if my body can keep up with my heartrate, I'm fine.
Is this normal? I mentioned it to a friend the other day and she thought it might be a blood pressure issue. Any thoughts on this?
