Extreme nausea and lightheadedness after workout?

[PhysX]

Hey, so I have been having this problem for a while and it is definitely a huge cardio turnoff for me. I often train strength based body weight exercises, never any weights. I hold a lot of explosive strength. For example I usually do things such as muscle ups, levers, slow handstand presses, and I am just shy of a solid one arm pullup. I do those types of exercises on a daily basis but never really do straight cardio work such as running. The reason I don't is due to a feeling of extreme nausea and excessive tiredness after stopping which lasts for about an hour. Just now I almost passed out in the shower after working out, then laid down on my bed and had to sleep for about 30 minutes before I had enough energy to get back up.. My recovery time is insanely slow and I'm not sure if it's possibly a medical condition, so I would like some input if you think it can be.
another thing is that when I exercise I find it extremely difficult just to break a sweat, I always have. For example, when exercising with a partner (who is in shape) I will often stay bone dry while my partner gets drenched, even if I am doing a higher intensity workout than him. I always make an effort to eat healthy foods and maintain a balanced diet, I have about 2 cups of coffee a day but supplement that with a bunch of water as well as a large can of coconut water since I know coffee is a diuretic.

I am in my low 20's, male, and wondering why I get winded so quickly and recover so slowly. Thank you

What does your diet look like? Are you consuming enough carbs to support daily intense workouts? Also what is your PWO recovery? E.g. fast-acting carbs + protein? And lastly do you do anything to replenish like BCAAs?

Is it really hot where you live OP? Could be exhausted from heat or possibly over training needing more glycogen uptake? Just a thought..

I eat a lot of rice and vegetables, get my protein in with both white and red meat. Basically I start the morning off with 2 packets of oatmeal, lunch is usually rice, meat, and vegetables (I try to watch the sodium on everything I eat, I don't add dressings or soy sauce etc). I snack during the day, usually a cliff bar and some baked pita chips, maybe more leftover lunch. For dinner I usually make something along the lines of pasta with olive oil, sometimes I'll have 3-5 eggs with potatoes (made by me, no bad oils or anything), sometimes rice with chicken etc. It's usually pretty simple honestly, I eat mostly organic and whole wheat stuff. I do however eat a lot of spicy food, I use a lot of onions, garlic, and jalape?os in my cooking. I don't take any supplements, except for the occasional 5 hour energy. I drink socially a few times a week, never get bombed or anything. I do not smoke and my BP is around 100/74.

I don't do strict workouts, I just do them when I have time. I'll be at work and just do a bunch of pullups (since we have a bar), some other stuff, then get back to work, maybe revisit in an hour or two. If I can take frequent rests in between exercises I am fine. Sprints for example I have no problem doing, but anything passed that I wear down quickly and have trouble recovering. So today is when I decided to try to get into cardio (I usually don't for this exact reason), and it was a terrible experience. Also I walk anywhere from 3-5 miles a day at a fast pace I would say.

Thanks!

Edit to Hypo: Not specifically, I think I might be lacking a few things however. I'll take a look at supplements.

After a few sets of the brutal leg workout my trainer put me through I felt nausea and broke out in a weird sweat.
I literally had to lay down and take a 15 minute break. He said my sugar probably dropped too low.
Next time I do legs with him he wants me to bring some fruit with me. Not sure if that will work for you but...
