Has anyone got any suggestions,when i cycle more than 40+ miles with or without the club,when i get home every time i bend down i feel dizzy this lasts for up to 3-4 hours.
When i go out i have a cafe stop and take food plus i drink water + PSP22.
Do other people suffer this? is it harmful? should i try another energy drink?
Thanks
Richard

    I'd recommend you see the doc...

    You may suffer from benign positional vertigo. Very common and there is a simple test a doctor can do to diagnose it. Bad news is that there's nothing you can do about it. Either that or you're anaemic.

    or something else.

  • With the greatest respect, an Internet forum is just about the worst place to go for medical advice :) See your GP. It's almost certain that what you're experiencing is a normal response to fatigue -- perhaps a result of poor tone in exhausted lower-body muscles. But almost isn't really enough. It will take a GP five minutes to take blood for a blood count, and that alone will rule out 95% of the nasties.

    What CrookedCucumber said. I shouldn't be making wild, unqualified diagnoses, I should have told you to see your doctor. That's what they're there for. Apologies.
