Yesterday I felt I might pass out...

So I was at the gym, and they had just got in some elliptical machines. I had used one before at another gym, so I figured I would give it a try. I did feel some minor ouches in my chest, while using it. But that's normal for me and I have every test possible for heart problems and they never found anything.
I had the machine set at random, level six, which is what I have been using for a while now on the bike. But just before I hit 70% done, I started to feel like I was going to pass out. So I stopped immediately, and walked the circuit track slowly trying to cool down. Stopping in front of the fan, and resting when I felt I need to. I probably should have told someone, but I didn't want to look foolish. Like I wouldn't have looked foolish if I had passed out and they had to pick me up from the gym floor!! {smile}
Anyhow, I drove home, which I probably shouldn't have, had a shower and another drink of water before I felt better. I just watch TV for the rest of the evening.
But now I worried. Should I go back to the gym tonight? I've been sitting here debating with myself.

On being hungry, are you eating some protein, fiber and a little healthy fat each time? Things like pb on an apple or veggies and hummus. I find that keeps me full longer. Did they test your blood sugar? Those could be symptoms of diabetes, too. It's asking your doctor first, because of all the other symptoms (okay everyone, laugh at me for being a hypocrit about seeing doctors. I'm better when it comes to diseases, not injuries).
They have tested me for diabetes, but I'm fine, though I did have low sugar when admitted to hospital one time - 2.3. I also tend to have low potassium, usually they just give me pills but once I had to stay overnight for IV treatment. And a low heart rate, even before I started working out - 52.
I tend to avoid drs, they usually are either telling me off for not coming in sooner, or telling me it's all in my head! {smile}
For protein, I eat very little meat, but I had cashew butter on 7-grain bakery bread for breakfast and two slices of mozzarella cheese, a slice of shaved ham on a cheese bun for lunch, and 2 hard-boiled eggs and a slice of cheddar cheese in a salad for dinner. I also indulged in 2 cups of hot chocolate, and it say 3.5g of protein per cup.
For fat, I used calorie-reduced Becel margarine, and Light Done Right Kraft salad dressing. The eggs are Omega-3. None of this is new to me, I have been eating like this for months.
I'm still having a bit of that woosy feeling today, even though I am just sitting in front of the computer most of the time, so I guess I will skip the gym tonight. I hope it goes away, along with this constant feeling of hunger. It's annoying! {smile}

P.S. Just in case anyone wonders, it is not possible that I could be pregnant, short of the second coming!
I've had the chest pain issue too, btw. They've checked me, they ended up running a full battery of tests because the day mine showed up I also showed up with a severe heart murmur that I had never had before. Nothing, zilch, nada. It's irritating. I make jokes all the time that the day I DO have a heartattack I'm going to die because I won't think anything of having chest and arm pains and won't ask for help. You have my sympathy:)
