Hello,
Lately it happens something strange to me when i train. Feel dizziness, dry mouth and an strange inside pressure in my ears....But all of this ONLY happens when i train on reps, like pull ups, dips, push ups...
Anyone know why this happens to me? maybe i should take sugar while training? or drink water with lemmon?
Thank you!
Sorry to hear about that.
Have you changed something in your life? your diet, your training times or intensity, your sleep patterns, etc...?
When was the last time you checked your blood pressure?
Ask a medical professional. That is not normal.
I had similar symptoms which i believe came through a combination of
A not being hydrated properly
B not taking in enough carbs
C training with too much volume
Once i fixed that, especially A and B my symptoms disappeared completely.
However im with Hari, especially if you didn't change a thing and suddenly are getting these symptoms: Do get checked out by medical professional.
Well...about carbs, i eat rice with one egg and butter 1 or 2 hours before training.
About hydration, should i drink while training?
And about volume, today had this symptoms and this is what i did:
Some handstand and human flags, front lever pull ups and pppups, 3 rounds of 20 dips and 15 pull ups.
I follow Joshua Natermans Workout Nutrition 2013 Guidelines, not to the letter but still it works very well for me. You might want to give that a try.
But still, get professional advice if you are unsure. I had my annual very thorough medical examination scheduled anyway and as everything came back normal, i could pinpoint it to my nutrition and training. That must not mean its the same for you.
Have you recently changed your training regimen? IE: increased volume, and reduced rest times?
Yes, you should drink water during the workout to stay hydrated.
Does the "pressure" in your ears follow the rhythm of your heartbeat?

Very few people will follow it exactly to the letter, but intelligent modification is good enough for nearly everyone. Stick true to the concepts of staying hydrated, being well-fed for your workout, and getting good PWO nutrition and things should run pretty smoothly.
For the OP: Michael's advice is very good.
First make sure you're hydrated (sports drinks or salted water can help), well-fed (which basically means eating enough calories, and making sure that around half of them are from slow-digesting carbs), and well-rested.
