Lately, I have been having a strange, almost-panic attack feeling when I am like 20 minutes or so into a run.
It is like I am cruising along, and then I get light-headed and daze-out and break out in a sweat. It goes away, but it is scaring me.
anyone know?
are there any other symptoms? does your heart rate go way up? does is happen every time you run or just when you run hard?
I do not think my heart rate goes up. It only seems to happen on easy runs. That said, I am not running hard that much anymore. It also is not everytime I run, more like once a week at most. It happened agin this morning, and it is bothering me.
I know this sounds strange, but it is more of a euphoric-like feeling. Almost like I kind of daze-out and my legs get heavy, but then it gets kind of intense, and feels weird.
I am having trouble describing it.
I've had that feeling a few times, it always happens an hour or two after consuming sugary snacks or drinks.
orgasm?

That is exactly what i was thinking, or maybe after having too much coffee.
The only thing is, it happened to me today after nothing but a piece of toast.
That's near the point when fat energy useage goes up as carbohydrate usage in starting to dwindle. Are you on a diet? What is your carbo vs fats intake %? Sounds like you are running out of carbs... Or the heart is "misfiring". To be safe, have your blood sugar tested. Borrow a heart monitor. Many runners have them...
Try having a fairly good sized meal a couple (or a few) hours before your next easy run. It sounds to me how I've felt when I didn't have enough in my belly and my glycogen stores were running low (during intense training periods).
