I tend to get light-headed, very disoriented and my ears hurt when I am finished working out. Anyone know why!

Sometimes I feel disoriented for a few hours after running/jogging. Other times I feel very bad for two-three days. I always follow a low-fat, high protein diet. I'm in my mid-twenties. 6ft. 0, 200 lbs, I have an athletic build. My life is not stressful. My doctor tested me for diabetes and a bunch of other things (negative).I am very curious to hear what you may think of this. Please give you opinion...Have you ever heard of anything like it??
Answer:
you may have fluid in your ears that you are moving around when you exercise and that could cause your ears to hurt, it can also cause light headedness and vertigo. Has anyone done a head CT on you to rule out any type of tumor or things like that in your head? You may want to go to another Dr. and get a second opinion, just to make sure nothing serious is wrong. Hope you find out soon.
How is your hydration level? Try upping your water intake, and see if that helps. You can also try drinking sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade, and see if that makes a difference. Also, be sure that you EAT something within an hour of working out -- carbs are best. Your body needs fuel when you make it work that hard!
Well I can't help you too much, but are your drinking enough water during the day? And are you drinking enough in the work out. Also what is your carb intake like? Have you been tested for any deficiancy?
Could be two things, either you dont have enough carbs in your system to work out or your dehydrated. Could be both. Eat something before you work out, like a high protein bar, a banana or drink a high protein drink. Also drink lots of water, your muscles store alot of water and if you dont have enough in your muscles to work out, Im sure you wouldnt feel good after the work out.
Heart problem, get checked for angina.
you know you might be low on iron - do you ever get dark circles under you eyes? maybe you could go get a blood test and see if you are low in anything or maybe you could have a thyroid problem if so you should go see an indocranologist - good luck
I agree with the people who indicate you may be dehydrated. Be sure to drink a lot of water before, during and after your workout.
Do you swim alot? Do you get swimmers ear? Have them check your inner ear for fluid!
