Dizziness after eating and back from swimming?!


Question: After I came back from swimming, 2 or 3 hours after eating, I'm always dizzy for a couple of minutes on and off and it's gone, it's always like this every time. If I don't swim, it doesn't happen. I would like to know why and does it happen to other people too?

I don't swim much, but I suspect that it could be from either overexertion (burning more calories than you ate, and making your body a little tired) or from hyperventilation (breathing in too much oxygen as you swim). You know how many swimmers gulp a lot of air with each and every stroke? That could certainly make you dizzy for a while, if you get too much oxygen! If you suspect it may be this, try changing your breathing patterns during swimming. Hyperventilation can be a dangerous thing if it occurs too frequently or is too extreme.

Also, when you're in the water your sense of gravity is pretty much gone. Coming back onto dry land signals your ears to start feeling gravity again. Our inner ears are our organs of balance in addition to being organs of hearing. It may be that your ears are just slow to catch up to being back on land, so they are a bit "confused" by going from the antigravity of swimming/floating to the regular gravity of being out of the water.

that is strange maybe you should talk to your doctor about that the only thing i could possible think that make you dizzy like that is low blood sugar???
