A member asked:

Why do i get really dizzy when exercising (has caused me to faint)? how do i prevent it happening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prevention depends: on the cause of your dizziness. It could caused by problems with heart, blood, lungs, blood vessels, or even inner ear. Fainting is dangerous because you can cause injury to yourself or others, so you should see a doctor immediately.
