What to do if you feel dizzy after sit-ups?

Sit-ups are not actually an exercise suitable for everyone. Some people in life will feel dizzy after doing sit-ups due to physical reasons. Is this because the sit-up posture is incorrect or it is a personal problem? Everyone should remember to have a good rest after feeling dizzy after sit-ups. Next, let the editor introduce to you the related issues about dizziness after sit-ups.

Your legs should not be stretched too straight, it is best to keep them slightly bent and place your hands on your ears. This can also effectively protect the spine. In addition, when exercising, the correct way to breathe should be to exhale when standing up and inhale when lying down. After lifting your body 10 to 20 centimeters off the ground, tighten your abdominal muscles and pause for a moment, then slowly lower your body back to its original position. When your back touches the ground, you can start the next cycle of movement. During sit-ups, the abdominal muscles are only involved in the initial stages of the exercise, after which the hip flexors take over the task. Similarly, turning the body at the end of a sit-up (right elbow touching left knee, left elbow touching right knee, etc.) not only does not help strengthen the abdominal muscles, but can even cause trauma to the lower back due to the pressure caused by the turning.

Dizziness is often caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain, which doctors call posterior circulation ischemia. This may be caused by lying on your back too quickly. If necessary, a head CT scan should be performed to rule out cerebrovascular accident. Suggestions: You must ensure a quiet environment and adequate sleep, avoid excessive brain use and mental stress, and do not eat fried or spicy food. This will have a good therapeutic effect on your dizziness. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Check if you have anemia and then measure your blood pressure. Do a routine blood test. If there is no problem, you can exercise freely, and it is okay to feel dizzy. The better it is, the better it will be if you exercise more.

Some people may feel dizzy after doing sit-ups in life. When we encounter such a situation, we should pay attention to rest and do not stand up immediately, but get up slowly. And everyone should also do more exercise in life to strengthen their body and make their physical fitness better. At the same time, they should pay attention to diet and eat some nutritious food.
