Question 1

why do my hands get so cold after i exercise?

Accepted Answer

Natural response: During and after vigorous exercise, the heart works to pump blood to the more important parts of the body, like the brain and the muscles that are working.  To do that, the blood vessels in the extremities will tighten allowing blood to be shunted to the parts noted above, .

Question 2

if i have heart disease, should i be concerned if i experience tingling hands and feet during and after exercise?

Accepted Answer

Yes: That may be a sign of vascular insufficiency, arterial blockages, or coronary spasm.  You should have that evaluated by your physician.

Question 3

new workout program abt 2wks. w/in a few hours after, have tremors in hands, uncontrollable, very pronounced twitching/restlessness in whole body. lasts until i take my ativan and (although i eat right after exercise). what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Post workout: Are you eating prior to the workout too? Make sure you are not dropping your blood sugar too low. Also, are you taking any other medications or supplements that could be interfering with the blood sugar? Diet supplements or such? Has this happened to you before? I would try to get evaluated by an M.D. for some further testing. Good luck!

Question 4

i am experiencing  shaking hands or tremor, dizziness (better by: rest) (worsened by: changing head position, after exercise, hot weather) , vision fading of colors, difficulty breathing (quality: noisy) , shortness of breath (time frame: gradual onset) (

Accepted Answer

Varied symptoms: These varied symptoms may not be explainable by a disease but can be due,in part, to anxiety. Inner ear disorder, overactive thyroid and familial essential tremor also are possibilities. If you're short of breath at rest but not during physical activity, anxiety is very likely. Stress management therapy should be helpful in this regard. A checkup by your physician and consultation with neurology

Question 5

i'm having difficulties with severe cramping in my legs, feet and hands after exercise despite drinking plenty of water and taking potassium. what next?

Accepted Answer

Go see your doctor: Make a hypothesis, act upon it, then measure results. Repeat. In other words, now it's time to measure your potassium & other minerals in your body. Also beware that taking quinolones such as your Levaquin (levofloxacin) is associated w/tendonitis/tendonopathy. So don't make sudden movements which might lead to tendon rupture.

Question 6

how long does it take for wrist to feel normal after cracked scaphoid heals. most of the time its ok sometimes aches in morning after exercise and cramp when twist and doing yoga stances. left wrist nov. 2022?

Accepted Answer

: This is not my area of expertise but like any fracture especially the wrist, the bones must heal close to their anatomical position. Any deviation can cause problems.   Need X-rays and physical therapy. If you have not seen a doctor for this injury please see a hand specialist
For proper evaluation and treatment

Question 7

Circulation and some: Specific medical conditions may contribute to this. Please see your physician for assessment. Take care.

Question 8

when i exercise, my skin gets cold and clammy. at night, my hands often swell and get hot. i get dizzy often when i get out of bed. what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Cold clammy skin and dizziness are suspicious - something may be going on with your heart. Though they could represent anxiety or medication side effects, I recommend an evaluation by a cardiologist .

Question 9

is normal after exercise all my body get cold except my face ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This type of sensation may depend upon what type of clothing you are wearing and your circulation.  Sometimes people get flushed in the face after exercise, where more blood rushes to the uncovered parts of the body to try and warm it up.  If this becomes an issue, i would see a dr.

Question 10

always get a flu (cough, cold, sore throat, yellow phlegm) within a week after exercise. a 1 hour gym class and i'm sick. how to prevent this pls?

Accepted Answer

Exercise/infection: There is some evidence that parameters of immune function can be slightly diminished with intense exercise but this is more than balanced by the beneficial effects of exercise. The probability here is that you are being exposed to classmates with infections that are transmitted to you, and not that your immune system is being compromised.
