Hi,
I am competing for my very first time in a fitness competition in less than 3 weeks from now, and I have a really important question that I need some advice on. I have been taking dieuretics for a couple days now, as sugguested by my trainers. I understand the need to lose the water for the competition so that I will look harder and lose that excess weight. I started taking the pills my trainers advised me to use (6 PILLS A DAY) and for the first two days I was fine, but on the third I started feeling weak, nauseus and dizzy. I was taken to the hospital where they did a blood test and discovered my electrolytes were dangerously low. The doctor advised me to immediately stop taking the dieuretics. :PI explained about my competition and the reason I was taking them but it didn't seem to get through the doctors head. I realize that to have the successful physique you NEED to look hard and get rid of the water in your body. I'm just not sure now what to do...I do not want to get really sick and have a cardiac arrest. I have not told my trainers about the hopsital visit, I am too scared to and I really want to please them..Was 6 pills a days too many?
Is that what maybe got me in trouble? :-/I was just following the bottles instructions on that.. How many is normal to take? I don't know what to do now..HELP PLEASE!!
