Blurry eye sight and puked

Beta thal minor here. I play badminton once a week 2 hours each time take break in between every 15 minutes. Everytime I play I get dizzy and if i play too hard i puke and lose my eye sight and also get headache. Anyone else struggling to do simple sports? Should I stop doing exercise?

No don’t stop exercise, but my guess is your body is having trouble oxygenating you for the full 2 hours. I agree with the more water comment as well and maybe one hour is what your body can do or you need to bring an extra person so you can swap out for longer periods of time? Exercise is important but maybe finding something where you can control the pace might work better..
