Exercise Question

[lavenderbard]

So, does anyone else get tingling fingers, dizzyness/light-headedness, eyesight going dark, severe balance issues and static in the ears, from doing less than twenty minutes of not notably strenuous exercise?

Not that I always get all of that. Usually it’s just the dizzyness/light-headedness. (And I assume I also look terrible, because my kids keep asking me anxiously if I’m okay.)

But today I’m doing significantly worse than usual.

I always assumed it was a side effect of exercising being way harder for me than it's supposed to be, due to my CFS/CFIDS/ME.

The fingers tingling and the static in the ears are pretty rare, but having my vision start to go is what always seems to happen when I get to the lightheaded/dizzy point, and keep on going instead of stopping and resting. The world gets dark at the edges, and the fog closes in until I pretty much can't see anything at all, and at that point I always do stop and put my head between my knees until I'm feeing better, because at that point what choice do I have?
