What Could Be The Reason For Feeling Dizziness And Breathlessness While Doing Exercise?

Hello, when I run or do excersise nothing major, I feel very dizzy and can't breath .. It's scary there has been two occasions were I lost my vision for a couple seconds , I find myself trying to calm down and breath when this happens.. I'm 19 years old and the first time that this happened I was 15 and the other time I was 17. Now I know when to stop and all, I don't know why this is happening I can't even run one mile without worrying about this. I'm not fat nor I have asthma ... Can you help please

Hi,

Thank you so much for trusting us with your health query.

I am so sorry to hear about breathlessness and dizziness during exercise. Exercising takes practice to tolerate it. From the information you have provided, you are clearly not physically fit. I will suggest that you start exercise with very little effort ad increasing the intensity slowly to reach levels you can tolerate. BE consistent and progressive s as to get the body adapted to this.

I hope you find this helpful. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for more information if need. Thanks.
