Last night I had something happen that has not happened in years. We were in class and they were really working us. To begin with I was tired, and my stomach was in knots from nerves. I made it through the warm ups, barely. Then we began a kicking drill. We did one series and I had to raise my hand to ask to leave the mat. I believe my blood sugar level dropped. I have had this before, to the point where I would pass out. So I immediately went to a chair and put my head between my knees. I was shaking, sweat was pouring off of me. After it was over I was left feeling shaky and nauseous. I felt like an idiot for having to leave class and I will explain to the instructor what happened. Normally I eat a snack right before going to class. Yesterday I forgot to. Again, the nerves were attacking me. I knew better than to just push myself through it. I knew it was not going away and I really did not want to pass out in front of the whole class. LOL
I imagine they all thought the workout was too much for me, but I was a little suprised no one checked on me to see if I was ok. I think it was a combination of things. Getting overheated, the nerves, not having had a snack. It all combined to make my sugar level drop. I will not do that again! Too scary!
You need to pack a small bag with some zone bars and bottled water to take with you.Orange juice would have helped last night if it was available.Take care of yourself Mary.I'm glad you are okay.I hope you didn't have to drive home feeling like this.I also am surprised nobody came to your rescue.
