Why is it that i get light-headed when i lift weights?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood pressure: If you have low blood pressure you may feel lightheaded when standing quickly or when lifting weights. You should try and stay very hydrated, eat appropriate amounts, and lift less weight. However, if you become lightheaded to the point of fainting or if you experience headaches or neck pain while lifting weights, you should see your physician for an evaluation.
