I Get Dizzy When I Stand Up. Why?
Hi Bill, I am 58-year-old man in good health who runs about 30 miles per week. When I started running last October I watched my resting heart rate drop from a constant 60 BPM (beats per minute) to around 45 BPM. I am in much better shape now than I was in...
Dr. Roberts, Recently I ran a half-marathon in hot weather. It was about 80°F with 50 percent humidity and the race had no shade and few water stops. Around mile 10 I began getting disoriented and threw up. For some reason I decided to keep going but when I finished I...
