Yea, just getting into jogging. Use to run a 10.7 100m though while I was 200 lbs. Is that fast enough for you?

Sounds just like how I feel if my blood sugar level goes too low.

He might be drinking enough water but he isn’t getting the necessary electrolytes. No reason to go to a drug dealing doctor over this. He needs to drink something along the lines of this daily... Water - 2L Potassium Chloride Powder (no salt, nu salt found at grocery store) - 1 tsp Sodium Chloride (Pink Himalayan Sea Salt) - 1/2 tsp Sodium Bicarbonate (food grade baking soda) - 1 tsp Magnesium sulfate (food grade epsom salt) - 1/2 tsp
Yea, don’t let him go to the doctor who only wants to shove a bunch of pills down your throat and a huge bill up your arse! Nah, what your husband needs is homemade Powerade! Will fix him right up!

Doesn't really sound like a cardio problem, IMO. If anything, seems like it could be more neurological than cardiology. Who knows, I'm far from a doctor. But if it's been occurring for the past decade if it was anything cardiology related; i.e. heart attack, etc., seems to me that something significant would have happened already. Either way, he should see someone about it.

It’s probably the running causing it. I quit running after I got my concealed carry and have never been healthier

It takes a long time for him to feel better. He has had similar episodes not related to exercise that just occur out of the blue (twice in restaurants — weird!).
Does type 2 diabetes run in the family? I started getting incidents like this when I was 29. Went to the GP a few times, urgent care a few times, the ER once. Cardiology always came up fine, and sure enough, usually be the time the doctors ran some tests I was always felt ok. At age 40 I was diagnosed type 2 (about 15% of us are not overweight, personally I was overweight but not obese and never sedentary. It does run through my mom's side of the family like water though, including my mom who was a career aerobics instructor prior to her retirement).
What was happening for me during those incidents was likely "reactive hypoglycemia" - the pancreas overreacts to an increase in blood sugar and sends out too much insulin causes a blood sugar crash. Your body corrects for this eventually, and when your body does correct for it your blood work will come back normal.

I agree you should get him to the heart doctor but the symptoms you described are also similar to vertigo symptoms I've experience.
Vertigo is due to an inner (middle) ear problem, affecting balance and can be triggered by movements.

Yeah vertigo is a bitch. All it takes is one certain movement of the head and it can trigger the inevitable roller coaster ride
