This is a new development ...
Lately on leg day, I've had to cut short my workouts due to feeling dizzy, light-headed...about to faint. I'm going to schedule a Dr's appt. today, but I was wondering if my pre-workout activities might contribute to these symptoms..
I work out early (5:30 am)
Empty stomach
Caffiene + Redbull 30 min before workout.
I've started going a little heavier, and this is when it all kicked in.
Any thoughts as to possible cause? ???
-
You're over exerting yourself. That's your body's way of telling you, lighten up or I'm gonna bust a blood vessel.
-
Hypertension?
-
I have been on low calorie, low carb for the past few weeks and recently began squatting again. Most noticeably I experienced the same thing as you while squatting on ECA and this diet. However, this only lasted about 5-10 seconds after an intense set.

Could be to much caffiene on an empty stomach that causing a little bit of hypertension, when your straining on the squats?
When im on eph, I do notice pain behind my eyes a little when I go heavy on squats/deads but eph is known to increase BP a bit when you mix with asprin and the blood in thinner.

most likely this in conjunction with your early morning workouts

Took blood pressure before breakfast: 142/104. (after workout)
90 min later
After breakfast: 118/82.
I think the red bull/caffeine pill on empty stomach playing havoc w/ the bp. Next leg workout, I won't take anything before squats and see if its any different.
Still making appt. though, just to make sure.

That's sensible, good stuff.

Are you holding your breath on your way up? That could do it.

If it still happens have a meal of whole eggs before bed. When is your last meal?

x2 I got this as well a few years ago, same feeling, then one day had a big dull headache that wouldn't go away and got real bad if I tried to squat.

Do what 99% of Getbiggers do....stop training legs.

Yeah, I've had a headache all day. Maybe I will just take up tennis, or hacky sack.

I got it doing 20-rep squats, it went away when I just stopped doing squats for a few weeks. Since then I've avoided high-rep squatting.

It's probably a normal blood pressure drop after exertion, forgot the term for it. Might help if you don't sit down, or lie down, immediately after a heavy set. Take a walk around the gym. :D

heme-iron
or it could be from caffiene
also if your body fat is too low it can happen
after i cut the drugs and caffiene i was still very ripped for a brief period, i had excellent control over my appetite but i would fucking get dizzy and faint feeling if i were to go in a grocery store

low sugars give the headache
or if you skip a day from caffiene

On low carbs it's either work out OR jerk off; not both.

cut down

high blood pressure. Why are you doing the joint destroying unnatural exercise that is the squat when you are just some random chump trying to get in shape to attract women? Just do a few sets of leg extensions and be done with it, nobody except people on the internet care what your legs look like anyway.
Wether or not you do cardio or weights on an empty stomach has no effect on how much fat you burn by the way, all it will ensure is that you are weak.
