Lightheaded And Headache After Doing Gym. What Happened?
Hello, My husband is 52 and was at the gym doing a very difficult class. He started this class about one month ago. He didn t eat before class and when he was there he was doing pull ups. He felt a strange feeling in his head. He walked around and felt very light headed. He then got a severe headache which lasted more than 24 hours. He still hasn t felt back to normal. What happened?
