Today I was playing a few marathon maps without taking breaks and by the end of it I feel like I'm gonna faint if I play more and I am extremely light headed at the moment, does this ever happen to you? or is this not normal

Do you guys ever feel like fainting when you play?

I can assure you, feeling light headed when playing is definitely not a good sign.
definitely wanna take a break, maybe even talk to a doctor? does this happen with other more physical activities (e.g. running)?

actually yes i never really ran in highschool but when i had to sometimes i would push myself way too hard (aka the minimum that i need to do to get good grades in PE) and i would feel the same way as i do when i played yesterday, hell i only got like 4 hours of sleep too last nightmidgy wrote:

would highly recommend getting a check up from a doctor and telling them that, they will be able to give you exercises to use or be able to know if a bigger issue is at play here, no one on this forum is gonna know enough i thinkMFGSTC wrote:

I think sleep might be the bigger issue here. I ran a lot before high school and I'm still in relatively good shape (although my stamina kinda sucks, I can no longer sprint for extended periods of time), but getting 4 hours of sleep makes me feel like I'm dying and about to pass out, and normally I get 5-6 hours of sleep per night because my internal clock is absolutely fucked and school is very demanding. Sleep deprivation seriously sucks, it affects anyone regardless of their physicality. Whether you're a professional athlete or just some ordinary guy, not getting enough sleep will make you feel like shit.MFGSTC wrote:

That isn't to say that physical health in general doesn't play a role, though. Since (I'm assuming) your physical health isn't very good, you tend to tire out fast in physically exhausting activities, and since your body isn't used to it, it could be the reason why you feel like fainting afterwards. Your heart probably isn't used to beating so fast either, so your heart beating faster than usual can cause you to feel really lightheaded.
Now, combine the sleep deprivation and your physical health, as well as forcing your body to do physically demanding tasks (playing marathon maps), and you now have recipe for fainting (not eating and dehydration also play a part in this). It's too much for your body to handle, you're too fatigued. Because of this, there's an inadequate blood flow to your brain, thus making you feel like you're about to faint.
It reminds me of that time HungryBox passed out on stream. He didn't sleep much, he didn't eat that day, he streamed for 7 hours in a Melee tournament and he expended a lot of energy very quickly (his heart was likely racing fast, too from the tension) during his popoff, causing him to faint.
I recommend sleeping at least 7 hours a day and getting a good intake of food and water, as well as exercising a bit so your heart and body get used to these strenuous tasks. Don't expend too much energy too quickly, either. Also go see a doctor, this sounds serious.

I usually do get 7 - 8 hours of sleep but this was just a one off thing, and now that you mention it sometimes i just play mania without eating the whole time not really caring if i did eat previously or not. I didnt play yesterday so im just gonna play easier today but thanks for such a long answer lol.
No problem, take care!

FR 3rd to 4th dont fuck around, back when 3rd was piss easy and then you get whiplashed from long trills and double jumps by 4th that none of the previous maps prepared you forYyottaCat wrote:

people who hate on pp farmers probably just can't farm themselves tbh, it's literally the only way to compete in ranks.
and i say this as someone who hates pp farm and doesn't play ranked

i went straight to 4th right after i beat 3rd and got 94.11% on the 4th first try, got 95.67% before last song tho. Said fk it and told myself that ill prob beat it in a month so i didnt play it until today and got it first try (also my current scroll speed kicks my ass but im getting used to it)togmea wrote:

Hey... Rest is necessary, don't push yourself. Drink more to stay hydrated.
Yeah. That's also why there's pinned scores for a reason.midgy wrote:

Dont get overly fixated on Dan course tho, i know they're kinda addicting when you actually get into it, but its not gonna look pretty in the long run, just remember that Dan is just 4 songs in a single maps, thats it, don't use it as a skill measurements test, a lot of new players tend to focused more on Dan than actually improving (personal experience too btw), that's just my takes on Dan, its up to you to care about my opinion or notMFGSTC wrote:

Actually true, if you want to train stamina you can just play something like Cyber Inductance on ratesde_pression wrote:

Never! Though I've reached a point where I play so much that my brain can't process the notes falling even on 2* maps!
If you feel exhausted, just stop and rest. You can continue playing again after a few hours of rest!
I don't want you guys get sick/injuries/at worst, die(hey, this happened to the chinese guy who played non-stop! But hopefully this doesn't happen!).
I love the osu community bec u guys are cool and chill!
