I am a 27 year old female. I started dieting (weight watchers) and working out 4 times per week in March 2016. I have lost 25 pounds so far and have about another 50 pounds to go. When I first started going to the gym, I was having issues with feeling extremely nauseous and lightheaded (very close to passing out) after about 30 minutes of cardio exercise. I chalked this up to being over weight and out of shape. I also thought maybe I wasn't eating enough close to gym time, so I have been making it a point to eat a good snack (tuna and crackers, banana, yogurt with granola, etc.) at least 30 minutes before my workout. Although the episodes aren't as frequent as when I wasn't eating anything before the gym, I am still experiencing these "near pass out" episodes about once a month. The only thing that helps when an episode occurs is laying flat on the ground for about 5-10 minutes. You could imagine how embarrassing this can be in a packed gym. Does anyone else experience this? Thinking I might need to see a doctor....
