Has anybody ever ran into a situation where you started to have problems with vertical and dizziness. I practice a lot and I do get light-headed when I finish but I wonder if I have a medical condition because I get light-headed even if I'm not playing I'm going to see the doctor I don't know if my extensive practicing has anything to do with it

You're inhaling a lot of oxygen

There's a good chance you're just dizzy from all that oxygen you're inhaling. You may not be used to it, and yes, it can make you dizzy and even pass out. Hyperventilation is the name for the extreme form of it.

While I woulnd not discourage you from seeking medical attention and advice, I'd predict that the dizziness will pass as your body adapts to the oxygen-rich diet you're now on.

Thanks for your words of

Thanks for your words of wisdom. I made appointment for next Tuesday but maybe your right. I had a endoscopy on the 30 of April and a week later i was feeling dizzy when i bent over and  move around. Then by the end of that week I had wicked bertigo for three day. After MRI and some meds I still have the dizzyness and now that you mentioned it it does feel like hypoventilation.
