What Causes Lightheadedness And Numbness While Doing Workouts?
Earlier while at the gym, I got a pump in my left arm, forearm more specifically. I felt as if the blood flow was being suffocated. My left hand began to go numb, several seconds later I became light headed and had to sit down. I blacked out for about 10 seconds, then my vision came back. I was still very light headed and sickly feeling. After about 3 minutes I walked to the bathroom to put warm water on my face, it felt extremely cold. It was room temperature, but I felt like it was about 40° F. I became very pale, almost a greenish color. After about 5 minutes my color came back, my arm had stopped swelling. After about 10 minutes my body temperature came back. When I had gotten home, I took my blood pressure, it was 127 over 70. I am 16 years of age, and 210.4 lbs, 6 tall. Any answers, or advice?

Hi.
Most likely transient ischemuc attack is the prime cause of such situation. It could be for many reasons such has compression on inter vertebral spaces which are remote possibility in your age.
Any other reason sending lesser supply of blood to your brain.
You have to go to your local doctor to get few investigations done.
In ayurveda its called 'Bhram' and more or less Vat i.e. neurological reasons are associated with such conditions.
It is not much to worry and go to the clinic to exclude the reasons.
Hope it answers your question.
