Almost never get a bloody nose, once every few years, maybe.
Little bit of sinus problems, low grade chronic sinusitis, it's under
control. No polyps.
My heart rate seems to like to skyrocket rather esily, niot as esy as what I
read in cases of tachicardia, but at sprints, it can go uo to high 190's,
and accordong to karvonen's formula, I shouldn't go much over 180.
With a year and a half of working out 4-7 times a week for 60-90 min, my
resting heart rate hadn't gone much below 70. It's always been hard for me
to keep it low.
My coach is little puzzled, says it's not due to lack of effort. This is not
new, I seem to have always had a hard time with exercise, putting in a lot
of effort, and not getting as much out of it.
Also had a body gem metabolic rate test done, where they figure out your
caloric intake based on your oxygen consumption, and mine was 1960. Pretty
high for a girl. I'm 5'9", 150 lb, 126lb lean body massm, that'sabout 18%
body mass.
Not anemic, not diabetic, thyroid is fine, low cholesterol (140) it's all
been checked about a month ago.
I have beta thallasemia trait with microcytosis. There's no info that I've
been able to find about hiow that impacts exercise and performance. (Pete
Sampras has similar condition) My red blood cell count was little out of
range on the last test (morning, fasting), that could have been a bit of
dehydration...
Thinking about having a cardio pulmonary exercise stress test done, or
whatever it's called.
Teres' some history of hearth arrythmia and heart attacks in my family in
late 40's, not aware of any pulmonary conditions.
Okay, that's a lot of info I dumped here, I suppose in part just thinking
out loud.
I was thinking, nose, sinuses, lungs, digestive system...
I'll have to watch it more closely, if it always haopoens like that,
yesterday when it happened, I started coughing some not too long afterwards,
felt like dry congestion. Like a little asthma attack. To my knowledge, I
don't have asthma, unless I have a touch of exercise induced asthma.
Okay, I think I'm rambling... When something seems broke, I keep wanting to
fix it... now!
