Hyperventilating from weight lifting?
I had the strangest thing happen to me at the gym today. Nothing like it has ever really happened to me. I was doing dead lifts (for the first time in quite a while), finished my last set and just started gasping for air. It’s like I couldn’t catch my breath at all. I got really dizzy, could barely walk around. I had to sit down for a while… even while I was sitting down/laying back with my arms over my head, it was just hard to breath. After about 5 or 10 min’s I finally settled down a bit an noticed both of my arms were very tingly, almost like I had a constant static charge being released or something.
I’m 27, 6’1” 235, strong build. I try to go to the gym 3 times a week, I did take a couple of weeks off from ~x-mas to last week but I’ve been taking it a bit light (except for the dead lifts) since I got back into the swing of things.
I just panicked I guess, I couldn’t breath so I kept trying harder to breath if that makes sense. I’ve never had asthma or anything like that..
What does this sound like to you guys? Should I be worried? Or is this some what normal from over exerting yourself?
