Doing Leg exercise I get so lightheaded since Diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer
Since I have been on Xalkori to treat my problem I have been going to the gym because I love to workout, but I have noticed that since I have been trying to do legs I get so lightheaded and feel as though I want to pass out. I will have to sit for a while to let my blood I guess circulate. I eat before I go and have been drinking Ensure Protein drinks because my muscles got so wasted after doing chemo twice. I really want to build my muscle mass again. I have lost so much weight, now that does not bother me just flabby muscles. Anyone can help or give a suggestion. Thanks and God Bless us all.

I don't if this any help, but
I don't know if this any help, but overall I am not able to sustain any levelm of exertion since starting chemo and think this is pretty normal. I am also diagnosed with stage 4 have bone metasteses in hip, where there is a fracture, but I am hoping for something either surgical or radiation to get me on my feet again. I have heard you should stay as active as you can, so I would suggest taking it in small steps and building up your stamina.

Welcome.
The advice to keep active is very good. This is something you should bring to your drs attention. You may actually have washed out many electrolytes drinking water. I had a problem with this and found that drinking a sports type drink restores normal equilibrium.
