I exercised for the first time in a couple months and my heart started beating really fast and I felt like I?

Question

had to puke, and ended up puking? I also had troubling take a deep breath? What exactly happens to the body to get this reaction?

I was running outside and it was really hot.

Answer 1

well it has become unaccustomed to the work load obviously. when you are unaccustomed to strenuous exercise for a month or more, you need to start slowly and built back up to what may have been previous levels. If you just go at it full bore, you tax the heart, so it beats rapidly, and beating rapidly it doesn't get the blood circulated efficiently so the blood backs up in the lungs and you become short of breath. The nausea comes because your heart is not perfusing the body parts as well as it would normally, and lacking adequate circulation the stomach empties expediciously so the food in there does not ferment and cause gastroenteritis, after all the stomach doesn't "know" so to speak, what it may contain, so it is an automatic response to lack of circulation to empty it. So, if you would go back to exercising, a very good idea by the way, you need to start very slowly and work back up to your previous levels and abilities

Answer 2

Not exercising for a long time slows down your body so if you jump in say a 2 mile run of course your body will naturally react to it Your mistake was probably not taking it slow enough. What you need to do is before exercising stretch and take 10 deep breaths. This will help your body prepare for the vigorous course it's about to undertake. Don't jump into a full run immediately but start off slowly with a 20 minute jog or so. Keep your pace and if you think you can go on pick up the pace. Don't exceed 30 minutes.. save your energy for tomorrow. Consistency is the key. Don't think exercising nonstop will make up for the times you didn't. You will only hurt your body more. So take it slowly and drink lots of water after exercising.

Answer 3

You might have overdone it your first time back. The minute you started to feel sick you should have stopped. It was a way of your body telling you that you've done too much. If that continues, see a doctor and have him give you an EKG. Shortness of breath could be heart or lung related and the puking is not normal after exercise unless it was very strenuous done in the heat of the day. Go slower for the next few days and see how you feel. If it continues, get to the doctor right away before something worse happens.

Answer 4

One word for you: Adreneline. That is exactly why you should start out slow and work your way up. You are just getting the same reaction as you would if you had a sudden, bad shock. You body has just taken a totally unexpected blow and it's natural reaction is to tell you that it is not happy. Drink plenty of water to calm yourself and regulate your breathing. Try not to sit down, but instead walk slowly until the feeling passes and your body becomes recalibrated. You've just pushed yourself too far because you thought you could jump right back into where you were when you stopped exercising. Start your plan over again and be careful not to stress yourself out too much. Good luck!

Answer 5

Oxygen. Your body is does not process oxygen as well as someone who exercises more often. When you started to work out your body began to demand more, but it couldn't get it because your system wasn't as efficient. The result is panting, light headedness, tight chest, etc.

Take it easy and build slowly. If you are excising enough to vomit, then you are excerising too vigorous. Start with some light walking.
