Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 15 years old, male. Every time I exercise I experience dizziness and heavy feelings. I always feel dizzy. Sometimes my head hurts and my skin itches, especially around the eyes. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I read your query and understand your concern. Dizziness, heaviness, headaches, and itching can have various causes, and it is important to consult a physician for physical evaluation for a proper diagnosis. However, here are a few things you might consider:

1. Stay hydrated: Ensure that you drink enough water before, during, and after exercising. Dehydration can lead to dizziness and other symptoms.

2. Warm-up and cool-down: It is crucial to warm up properly before exercising and cool down afterward. This helps prepare your body for physical activity and prevents sudden drops in blood pressure that may cause dizziness.

3. Proper nutrition: Make sure you're eating a balanced diet and getting enough nutrients, especially before exercising. Low blood sugar levels can contribute to symptoms like dizziness or heaviness.

4. Take breaks when needed: If you feel overwhelmed or dizzy during exercise, take a break and rest until you feel better. It's important to listen to your body's signals and not push yourself too hard.

5. Allergies: Itching around the eyes could be a symptom of allergies. If you suspect allergies, consider consulting an allergist who can help identify potential triggers and recommend appropriate treatment.

I hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.
