[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This just started a few months ago.  I would have expected to vomit from working out on a full stomach, not an empty one.  I have never vomited before from working out, and regularly do 5x/week workouts involving a mix of spin, swim, and weights.  It's only when my heart rate gets super high, and only when I've got nothing in my stomach aside from water.  I'm 49.

I don't really know if this is some sort of perimenopause thing or what.  Doctor's statement was just "have a protein bar before working out."

Is this something I should be concerned with?[/quote]

You aren't used to vigorous exercising, and haven't built up glycogen stores to fuel you through a workout and you become hypoglycemic temporarily due to using up the glycogen but not being ketosis either. Transitory and you could do two things. Eat a couple hours before exercise, or BETTER just push through it and back off on intensity so it doesn't happen so badly, and build up your endurance and body, and it won't happen after a while.[/quote]

I sometimes get nauseous when I don't eat before but I never throw up.  It's not every time so I just push through.  If I were to the point of throwing up I'd just eat something before working out.  [/quote]
