Why do I get nauseous after lifting weights for less than 5 minutes?

Most likely, you are over doing it. You need to back off the weight amount and build up to it. If you are putting excess pressure on your diaphragm, such as with power lifts and jerks, it can cause nausea.

Are you in the beginning of a workout cycle? If so, your body is adjusting to the new cycle of activity. Don't worry, as you progress, you will feel more energy.\n\nAlso, your blood sugar may be low, which is causing the body to want to sleep to conserve energy. This is probably the case if you work out first thing in the morning before eating.\n\nFor weight training, eat immediately after your workout. For cardio, wait one hour (for fat burning), then eat.\n\nStick with it! You'll get more energy, soon.

have u tried lifting weights? you might be feeling weaker when you do a lot of cardio and its draining your energy. lifting weights gives u that adrenaline rush that overcomes that. and maybe u arnt eating enough? if thats the case then try more calorie dense foods.

i've spent years pushing myself to exercise when i'm sick and then i just end up feeling worse for longer. take it easy and don't feel too guilty- you'll get back to your routine soon enough. take advantage of the time you have to let your body rest.

Why would you feel sick?  Are you cutting back your portions too much?  You can't go from one extreme to the other when trying to control your weight.  Maybe you should get some help:\n\nOvereaters Anonymous:\nhttp://www.oa.org

there is a lot of sodium on them so you will retain water and feel bloated. also you will be hungray again soon because you haven't eaten any protein or complex carbs.

Nothing as natural as this is harmful in any way whatsoever.  Us guys right after this, though, lose interest almost immediately and like to relax.  That is not the same as feeling weak.  We simply have worked out and then want to take it easy for a bit.

it's possible, especially if you've injured your back before, or have a weak back.  the jerking and contracting of the muscles all over your body when you vomit could trigger it.

yes that's suppose to happen. What you should of done though after your workout was drink a lot of water it helps prevent that soreness that you feel. Just wait for the soreness to go then start lifting again

Some people just have a sleepy reaction after swimming, probably a combination of the warm pool air, being "weightless" for so long, and the chlorine fumes.  Also, it is easy to overheat in the pool because your sweat doesn't evaporate like it does on the bike and on the run, and you use more calories.  I'd suggest brinking a good quality sports drink to the pool with you to replenish liquids and carbs during your workout, and also, you want to make sure you put a small amount of carbs/protein in your body within 30 minutes of your workout to help with recovery (chocolate milk, wheat crackers and peanut butter, half a turkey sandwich, etc.).  Sounds like you are training for triathlons, maybe?  The carbs are a good idea in races too after a swim, but you need something easily digestible, which is why some athletes wrap a powerbar around their handlebars.\nEdit: Also, since it sounds like swimming isn't your strength, you may not be getting the adrenaline rush after it like you do with running and biking because you are swimming at a long slow pace.  You could try an interval workout to switch things up and get your heart rate up a little higher.  You can find some good workouts here.  http://www.swiminfo.com/swim-cgi/

Friend - The typical stomach virus lasts from 24 to 48 hours.  You are likely at this point dehydrated from being ill which can, unbelieveably, cause you to be nauseaus and dizzy and to continue to be ill.  I am concerned about your exact knowledge of your intake of calories as well.  Please see a doctor as soon as possible and describe all you have told us.  GBU

Dizziness, or vertigo, is sometimes caused by excessive motion, like a carnival ride going too fast. Your brain cannot assimilate all the sensations that are going on to help you keep your balance. So, if you eat a couple of elephant ears, a pronto pup and a burger and chase it down with a Coke, then you get on the scrambler, your brain is going to try to help you keep your balance while you are on the scrambler. You will "hurl your lunch" because your brain is busy helping your body keep it's balance. \n\nDizziness can also be a symptom of the flu or some other ailment. Throwing up can just be because your body is run down and it is rejecting the work of digesting your food because it needs to concentrate on whatever it is that is making you sick, like the flu or an infection or something.

My feet are getting heavy, and I've lost feeling in my toes. What is that odd sensation in my stomach - like rocks weighing heavily?? My back is stiff, so I try to move. Man, my feet are heavy. I move my legs and it's as if someone  tied cement blocks to them. A creeping sensation moves up my legs, and I stop trying to move them. \nMy eyes hurt. My head feels stiff, as if my skin is crunchy. I try to call out, but my mouth doesn;t want to move - like I am wearing a clay mask and it has dried. What is happenieng to me? My fingers are stiffening, and I am now numb to the waist. I can't move my legs!!  I try to scream, but my vocal cords are too frozen. My nose is numb.  My breasts are starting to feel heavy as lead, and I can hardly hold up my head. The numbness creeps downward, and my fingers are like bananas as I try to type. IO amn makl[oing so manny typpos .. I cannnottr type wellllll,... I cannnt breeeaathe .. sdhfgsdajklllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Are you drinking water and eating veggies and fruits?  If I hadn't had a decent bowel movement in a week, I would feel yucky too.....

i have never had this problem but i do know that the sooner you see a physiotherapist the better chance you have of everything returning to normal.  sometimes light, controlled exercise is better than doing nothing and letting the muscles waste further.  other times need complete rest.  i really do think you should phone a physiotherapist and get advice as soon as you can.  hope you feel better soon.

Nervousness activates your fight-or-flight response, which rushes blood to the head and muscles. The blood supply to other areas is reduced, especially your digestive tract. This means an interruption of normal digestive processes, and then nausea.

there are no negative effects.\n\nyou should consume protein before a weightlifting session & within 20 or so minutes afterwards as well. this will help supply your body not just with the protein but also BCAA's and other essential muscle-building elements.
