No good deed goes unpunished

hi scrumking, is there something you can do to distract yourself right now, such as watching a dvd, tv, reading, writing in a journal, loooking at photo albums etc, or even patting a pet if you have one? i am not a doctor, but i reckon if your heart wasn t going to stand up to the exercise, you ould have found out while you were sparring, not hours later. i am praying for you right now and look forward to hearing about you getting some sleep, next time we hear from you! of course, if you are really worried, you can go to the e.r., but try to do the breathing exercises in the resources at the start of this site, blessings

Hi SK.,

Exercise and anxiety can go hand in hand, as they bring about similar physical sensations...increased heart rate, increased body temp and sweating...

Were you able to calm and get some sleep? How are you feeling now?

I hope that you are feeling better, and this will not deter you from going back and enjoying more time at the gym.

Maybe just starting back at a slower pace and working up gradually is a good way to get back into it. Let us know how you are doing today.:)

S.C.

King,

Congratulations! I think you took a great stride and this is without doubt, a bit achievement.

As a gym rat myself, I know the feeling of being away too long. So good for you for leaping in!

And see? You made it! You did it. Remember that, and keep that memory tucked in close, and you'll find that you will grow up and out from that point.

I used to have dreadful health anxiety, and I was obsessed with my heart. It didn't help that my Father had a myriad of heart and health issues at an early age. Dunno, maybe it contributed to my fear?

Regardless, I don't have HA anymore, and I'm working out again, (as full-on as my new body will permit me), so I'm here to remind you that...Yes! Yes it can be done!
