Not feeling well doing surgeries due to standing a long time. I don't at all get grossed out and I am not squeamish at all. I eat a lot, but it's not really possible to leave often for snacks and water. I try compression socks and will try things like squeezing my legs. Does anyone have any other tips? I usually just feel sort of lightheaded and feel like I might pass out. Does anyone else ever get these feelings?

Yes! I have totally been there before. I find that if I'm working out more consistently outside of work (focusing on my lower body strength especially, like ankles, calves, quads, and glutes) then I am much more able to stand for long periods of time. Likewise, engaging your core/glutes while you're standing helps to offset pressure on your lower back. I aim for 3-4x a week for strength training and it's made a big improvement!

Does this happen when you're doing other tasks or just during surgery? You should book an appointment with you PCP to see if there is a diagnosis

Kind of a new distance runner here (completed my first half mara last month) and am usually run on treadmill for workouts during the week. I also wear an Apple Watch. Have noticed that my Apple Watch tends to say I’ve run a longer distance, at a faster speed, than treadmill. (It’s usually up to 0.5 miles off and 0.5mph off in speed). Anyone experience this? Not sure what to trust but assuming Apple Watch. Thoughts?
