What Causes Nausea, Exhaustion And Paleness After Exercising?
If I exercise semi-strenuously, I become pale, extremely exhausted and have severe nausea. Also, eating a moderate amount of food causes me to be very full. If I exercise just a little, I become sick at my stomach. A few years ago, I had a cardiac calcium score of 0. I have been tested for ulcers, gastroparesis, acid reflux and have had an endoscopy and everything was normal. I have also had my gall bladder removed. Nothing has seemed to help my symptoms.

Hello,
You are experiencing exercise intolerance symptoms like being exhausted, out of breath, weak, in pain and nauseous. The causes of this are respiratory conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, metabolic myopathies, motor neuron disease like multiple sclerosis or heart failure.
Most probably heart failure or decreased functioning of heart is responsible for exercise intolerance. I would suggest ECG, 2D echocardiography, chest X-ray and treadmill stress test. Please do consult a physician and take the above tests to know the specific diagnosis and for appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
