Post Workout Nausea ?

[Deleted member 33117]

I almost always get that after training legs. Its alot worse for me on high rep days. Just sit down at the gym and relax for a few minutes. Drink your pw workout drink and chat with the girls for 30 minutes or so, and you'll feel good as new. I like to take a 30 minute nap immedatiately after I get home from training so, if I still feel naseated it is gone after that.

i know exactly what the problem is........... (at least i think so.)

your not breathing right. it took me and my partner 2 years to figure out why??....... on all of my leg exerices, becuase they are so heavy, i find myself hold my breath too long on the positive motion, which cause you to get very light headed.

thats what worked for me. breathing.......lol

Goneliftin, there may be something to the creatine on this one. I don't have the details (that's bad because I'm a nutritional science major), but I saw a report on cnn awhile back on creatine and the brain. A study have come out showing that after taking a serious blow to the head, creatine uses were only 1/3rd as likely to develop a concussion as regular people. So it seems to offer some type of protection to the brain from certain kinds of stress. Anyone have the science behind this, and a possible link to goneliftin's experience with creatine?

I'm having recurring vertigo issues, which makes me dizzy and naseous for hours - now it's extending to days. It mainly happens during a strenous bench workout, row workout, or ab workout; anything that has my head in a horizontal position. I've had all tests done imagineable and still no idea. Finally, my doctor gave me medication to help with the dizziness and naseousness.

In other words, there can be many causes; if it happens frequently enough, you may want to see a doctor about it. I waited a few months before I caved and went in.

JJFigure, sorry to hear that. I never like hearing about someone who trains extremely seriously having a medical problem that inhibits their training.

I always get this way after squats or deadlifts. I hate it because I can't drink my post workout MRP for almost 45min-1hr after the workout. I have puked twice on squat day but that was in college after about a week of binge drinking.

LOL! I'm sure the binge drinking played a role in that one.

I try to work out on an empty stomach (no food for at least 4 hours prior) because I abide by the theory that the digestive process robs you of valuable blood flow to your muscles during your workout. So Food sloshing around isn't the problem.

As far as the rest low blood sugar, GH release, dehydration, etc... Is there any way to preempt nausea without aggravating the first cause (food sloshing around)?

Ive tried no food before an intense workout doesnt work to well for me I just dry heave haha

 

[b fold the truth]

Either, low blood sugar, GH release, dehydration, motion of food in the stomach, blood flow directed away from the digestive system etc etc. I get that between sets, it goes away after 15 min.

I think that you are on to some good points...
