What Causes Lethargy And Nausea After A Short Period Of Exercise?
I frequently feel dizzy and neasous after short periods of excercise or even for no apparent reason. My feet sometimes tingle. I am always sleepy and can hardly stay awke for 8 hours at a time. I have recently started eating more than usual and I am constantly hungry even after eating large meals. Is there something wrong?

Hello,
Dizziness, nausea, tingling sensation in feet and increased appetite are suggestive of impaired glucose metabolism or even diabetes mellitus. I suggest you get blood glucose levels fasting and postprandial. Fasting glucose levels below 100 mg/dl are normal, between 100-125 suggests impaired glucose tolerance and above 126 mg/dl suggests diabetes mellitus.
Postprandial glucose levels (after two hours of having food) below 140 mg/dl is normal, between 141-200 mg/dl is indicative of impaired glucose tolerance and above 200 mg/dl is suggestive of diabetes mellitus. If the test results are abnormal appropriate treatment can be started, and thus the symptoms will relieve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri
