What causes this ? Is it lack of sugar ?
Today, I was in my exercise class and I felt terrible. I felt asthough I was going to faint. I had the terrible shakes and was sweating hot and cold. After eating a fair bit of food afterwards, I did feel slightly better, but the whole thing was so bad I didn't really feel normal again until afew hours later. Posted on 11/03/09, 02:11 pm |

Did you hydrate enough? Before, during, and after? Water, water, water, and for good measure - more water!
Also, even though you don't want to work out on a full stomach, you want to have something to eat about 20 minutes before. Even if just a piece of fruit, or a protein bar. Hope this helps!

I agree with the first post- water.
Another thing is low sugar and potassium. Eat a banana about 20 minutes before you work out. It's got a lot of potassium and enough sugar to keep your blood levels up there, but it's not heavy enough to cause you to work up a cramp while exercising. Protein bars are also a good idea, but they do have a tendency to sit hard in the stomach. Try drinking a fruit juice while taking a break, and eat a protein bar once you finish exercising. It keeps you full for a little while as your body alters the muscle, and also provides additional protein for muscle development so you don't get as sore.

Is there a virus going around? Just to rule out the simple and obvious possibility first.
I'd ask a doctor for advice about this if it happens again - better safe than sorry.
