I recently started riding a bike after probably not being on a bike since I was a teenager...trying to get my body back into shape after a few years of not being in the best of shape that I use to be in. I have always been prone to getting motion sickness from either being a passenger in a car or on a airplane...so not sure that has something to do with why after I get done with my bike ride I feel lightheaded and dizzy like. I feel totally fine while on my ride..it is when I get off the bike go inside the house..I start feeling it..it has happen two days in a row going the same way and each time and towards dusk time...this ride is very short maybe 15 minutes and a few hills where since I am not use to that kind of workout..my thighs were screaming! Going back I have those little down hills where the wind is in my face and I feel the force of going down hill against my body...so not sure that is making me feel dizzy after I am done..this ride is all on paved roads
What is odd..I have went a longer distance about 45 minutes to a totally different area and on packed gravel..have done this ride now 4 times and in the middle of the day..I get back and I feel normal..no dizzy feeling at all.
So just curious if anyone has ever felt dizzy/lightheaded after riding a bike and if anyone knows what could be causing this?
