What happens if you exercise excessively?
Excessive exercise may lead to symptoms such as weakness in the limbs, headache, palpitations, dizziness, and vertigo.
1. Weakness in the limbs
Overexertion may cause physical exhaustion, resulting in weakness of the limbs. It is recommended to rest adequately before resuming exercise; otherwise, it could potentially damage the spleen.
2. Headache and palpitations
Excessive exercise may affect the nervous system or cardiovascular system, causing symptoms like headache and palpitations during or after physical activity. It is advised to stop exercising immediately.
3. Dizziness and vertigo
Performing certain rotational movements during intense exercise may cause dizziness and vertigo, usually due to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain.
In addition, excessive exercise may also lead to irritability, decreased muscle mass, joint pain, and other symptoms.
