I sometimes have this when I vacuum too - the other day I felt myself getting hot and dizzy and my vision started to fade. I usually "treat" this lightheadedness with sitting down, concentrating on breathing steadily and drinking sips of water. Today however I feel very tired after my shower, my muscles are achey and I still find breathing uncomfortable. I was lying down on my bed and when I tried to sit up my stomach felt sore. Please help!
