Hi All,

I just want to Thank all that respond to my posts I appreciate your help.


I do have a question though do any of you get kind of dizzy after you excercise? My blood pressure is fine my pulse is up, which is normal for being on phen however when I excercise I am sure my pulse shoots up even more.

Granted I am fat and I am out of shape ,but I have been pushing myself to at least do 10 to 15 minutes on the treadmill.(Granted this is a lot for me but I started out at 5 minutes and have worked myself to up to do at least 10 or more since I started.

I just noticed that when i am through I am dizzy.
I had to take my 2 month old foster child to the Doctor's a few days ago and guess what the freaken elevator was broke so I had to carry her in her car seat my honkging big purse and a diaper bag up 6 flights of stairs well needless to say I had to stop 2 times and the 2nd stop I thought I was going to just about die I was dizzy, my head felt like it was spinning ,I was sweating profusely I had to sit down on the stairs and drink some water and relax. I was sitting there thinking GOD! I cannot make it up any more stairs and I am going to have to call someone to pick me up. I was even thinking I needed to go to the hospital. Well I made it up those darn stairs after a few minutes of sitting there.

So was just curious if anyone else has experienced this?

I see my Doctor today for a weigh in so (pray for me) I am also going to tell her about this crap could be Phen is not for me.

SW- 253
CW- 245 as of 8/25 up and down all month

First of all how long have you been on the phen?

I know that in the beginning you will have a lot of different side effects.

I too workout on the treadmill for around 30 min at a time and do feel a little dizzy or off balance when I get off but it doesn't last very long. How long is yours lasting?

My heartrate will get up to around 130 some days when working out, does your treadmill show you a #?

I would definatley tell your doctor about it. Just keep checking your bp also.

well in my opinion after excerise you have to keep moving to cool down just don't stop and sit. when i am excerising and if i stop fast then i will get dizzie and feel like i am going to pass out. keep your head up and walk slowly.. i hope this helps. keep moving and keep loosen. god bless.. good luck... keep us posted.

I think Geela's got the answer. Be sure to extend your workout & include a cool-down period.
fyi, my heart rate hits 130bpm as well but my "recommended" max hr is ab 32 beats per 10 sec's. As long as I don't exceed my rec'd-max, I don't worry too much ab it but I definately need a cool-down or I get dizzy too.

YES INDEED BUT I KNOW AFTER 5MIN OF EXCERCISE I LOOK LIKE SOMEONE BAPTISED ME AGAIN IT IS UNBELIEVABLE SWEAT DROPS ALL OVEER THE MACHINES AND MY HEART RATE GOES TO 150 TO 165 DEPENDS ON WHAT TIME OF DAY MY PULSE SHOOTS UP TO I USUALL WAIT A FEW MINUTES UNTIL I START THE NEXT MACHINE AND PLENTY OF WATER I ALSO PUT MY ARMS OVER MY HEAD TO SLOW DOWN MY HEART RATE

Hi all Thanks again for the replys just got back from the Dr.

She said that the dizziness could be caused from the fact that I am so out of condition. She also said that since I am excercising in the evening that she did not believe it was the Phen that was causing it as I take my Phen in the morning, she said that yif you feel any effects of the phen it is usually within the 1st 4 hours after taking it then it graduallly wears off.

SHe was going to up my dose until I told her about the dizziness said she wanted me to stay on it for another month and if i still was having a problem then we would switch to another drug. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut then I could be dropping these freaken pounds faster. (Yeah I know I did the right thing by telling her.)

(Tangela) I have been on the Phen for 30 days and have lost a whole whopping 7 pds talk about depressing. I keep gaining and then I lose it but i have figured that it caused by processed meat and anything with a lot of sodium.

anyway my dizziness last for a few minutes after I excercise and I do feel off balance. I do get dizzy other times of the day but sometimes I think it is brought on by anxiety or if I do not eat enough.

(geela and desprtly) I don't always do a cool down I do try to walk slowly around sometimes. I think my ear clip pulse thing is off on my treadmill. My BP has been great I go to the Dr. every week to check it plus I do it at the pharmacy also.

(fit) Thanks for the suggestion of putting my arms over my head I'll have to try it. Sweat like a pig yes I do tooooooooooo gross.

I guess I need to get my A** going cause 7 pds in a month is not to impressive to me anyway.

Thanks you guys for all of your help and suggestions I am going to try them.

HI!

7 lbs in a months is great!! realistically you should only lose about 2 lbs a week-- so your right on target! Just think of it this way and it might put it in prospective... You didn't gain it all over nite... your not gonna LOSE it all overnite!

Just stick with it! now--if ya take that 7 lbs and multiply it out-- in 6 months that would be 42 lbs of fat gone!! Now---over a year--thats 84 lbs!!!!

be happy for each and every pound ya lose!!

Good luck!
