Dizziness while running can be a sign of overtraining,
dehydration, lack of oxygen, low blood pressure, low blood sugar, irregular
heartbeat.
Too much exercise
Most of the dizziness when running is due to the
intensity of the exercise. Maybe the runner is doing exercises that are too
heavy. Overexertion also has other manifestations such as blurred vision,
difficulty breathing, heart palpitations, nausea or vomiting...
Overtraining accounts for 36.2% of all injuries an
athlete can experience. Overtraining can happen in any physical activity, both
on the track and in the room, in many sports like cycling, climbing, swimming,
etc.
Dehydration
Not drinking enough water during exercise can make you
dehydrated. Dehydration during exercise is very dangerous, they can affect blood
sodium and make people more susceptible to stroke.
Although dehydration is common in children and the
elderly, it can still affect adults. Athletes are more likely to become
dehydrated with mild illness or heavy physical activity, especially in hot weather.
Symptoms of dehydration include: dizziness, dry mouth, mild fainting, little
urination, fatigue, and weakness.
Lack of oxygen
This is also one of the common causes of dizziness when
running. Most new runners do not know how to breathe during exercise, causing
less oxygen to enter the body, faster heart rate and faster breathing.
Athletes need to adjust their breathing, need to inhale
deeply through the nose, expand the abdomen and exhale through the mouth. Even
if you don't exercise, practice deep breathing every day.
Low blood pressure
Heavy physical activity can cause athletes to have low
blood pressure, dizziness. People with low blood pressure are often more prone
to dizziness than normal, combined with factors such as excessive exercise,
lack of water, lack of oxygen, making the dizziness become more severe, leading
to fainting. emergency.
Normal blood pressure is around 120/80 mmHg. People
with low blood pressure have a blood pressure reading below 90/60 mmHg. These
people need to consider when doing high-intensity exercises, especially cardio.
Hypoglycemia
You may experience low blood sugar if your stomach is
too empty before exercising. During exercise, muscles use more glucose than
usual, so if you don't eat anything before exercise, you can experience low
blood sugar, feeling dizzy, tired, irritable, shaky, sweaty .. .
You can eat banana lining or boiled eggs before
exercise to ensure enough energy for a workout session.
Heart rhythm disorder
An arrhythmia can cause the heart to beat too fast, too
slow, or irregularly. There are many conditions that can cause an arrhythmia,
including cardiovascular disease or emotional stress...
Continuous running can trigger or make heart disease symptoms worse. With arrhythmia, athletes may feel: dizziness, changes in heart rate, fainting, shortness of breath, sweating.
