overdoing it on the Treadmill.

So a quick rundown, Last year was weird for me, I was pretty sick for most of it and I slept a whole lot, Like, Most of the day every day, I was tired and run down and could barely stay awake, I really was depressed so, I figured Surely all of this was the depression, Later on in the year I found out I had some very weird Colon problems and My intestines were ruptured and perforated in three huge places sending infections all throughout my body, I was even in the hospital for a while, I suppose I almost died and didn't even know how sick I was..

Well, I'm not 100 percent, But, I'm much better than I was and I've been using the treadmill a lot, It's really helpful, It keeps my energy up I only sleep about three hours a night now and when I wake, I'm full of energy. So, I stepped up my Treadmill game, Now I just do thirty-minute sets off and on throughout my entire waking day. I've reached a point now though, that I can do a 7.5 incline at a speed of 4.5 <-- I don't know what the 4,5 means. Mph maybe? Idk, It's just the settings on the treadmill.

The problem is, It's not taking the chest pain away as it used to and I'm still short of breath. Usually, using the treadmill perks me up and takes away any kind of pain I am having, Now there is this persistent, I don't know if you could call it pain, Like a Nagging unrestful feeling in my heart, It's like every other muscle is able to relax, But my heart always has this tired ache to it. I would just slack off from using the treadmill, But that's the thing that helps it.

I'm not ready for more doctors and more visits to specialists. I've had enough of that. I've had heart problems my entire life, This is different. It never eases... But you guys don't understand, This isn't just me not wanting to go to the Doctor anymore, I've done everything to improve my health, I've given up sugar and bread completely, I've changed my diet too, All proteins, No starches, I actually feel fantastic, Everywhere, except my heart.


Can't I just have a break of Good luck? Just some sunshiny fortune, Just this once... I don't want to go to doctors, And This can't be my heart, I've been doing everything I'm supposed to. I've been doing this treadmill workout for literal years now, I'm in great health, I could literally Jab kick bruce lee to death or back to life, in one kick, I'm healthy now, This shit isn't fair :(

That's actually pretty good, According to my treadmill, at the speed, I go at it takes me about twenty minutes to get a miles distance While that sounds pretty slow, Keep in mind I am doing that on a 7.5 incline though :p

I did 5.14 miles 0 incline in 60 minutes last Saturday. This is the first time I felt really comfortable with that since I started treadmilling 2 years ago.

I consider that good for being over 50.

For you to do what you do with that heart condition, blows me away. Good work, but I would be inclined to get a doctors advice on the pain issue.

A perforated intestine is very serious indeed. I hope you stay on top of your medical issues, SP. Just dealing with doctors in general sometimes requires a lot of patience. Believe me, you're not the only one who gets tired of the BS from the medical profession. Hang in there!

My big pet peeve with doctors is the way they've all become so robotic and businesslike. You're just a number and they just want to get you in and out ASAP.

I have good blood pressure but I get anxious and uncomfortable when I see a doctor. I went to Patient First about 2 months ago and my BP was 140. I had to explain to them that I get white coat anxiety and it raises my BP. When I take my BP at home it's usually around 110 or 115. They took my BP again 15 minutes later and it had already dropped to 121.

I swear, one of these days I'm just going to blurt out "Yeah my BP is a little high because I really, really hate you, MF! I'm not a violent person but I'd really like to bitch-slap you. That's why it's a little high, OK." :mad8:

My Bp is always borderline high, I think mine runs at like 135 over 90. It's not dangerous, But it's exactly where you don't want it to be I guess, "True story" My doctor gave me some bp medication, I never took it because I was afraid to.

When I go back to my doctor and I tell him, Yeah, I haven't been taking the bp meds, He says, " Don't worry about that right now, The perforations are the thing to focus on Atm"

I'm getting better, I can tell :)

Update, Today I'm not hurting at all, I guess it was just a thing.

I've done my treadmilling already and I feel fantastic. Looks Like today is my sunshiny day :)

My ribs hurt. Not sure if it was yoga, running, or weights...

I think I will blame yoga... lol.

It is most likely all the above...

Ah well. At least I know I am doing something. Nothing a little rest cant fix.

I'm back, I fell asleep after I got home, I think I have the flu again,

Anyway, doctor cobra said things are looking better, That the problem seems to be the muscles around my colon won't relax, "I don't even know what that means" Anyway, He said I have to use Metamucil every day for the rest of my life and this will pretty much prevent me from having problems like that again.

I think it's a bunch of Bs honestly. All this time going to a doctor a specialist even, to be told Metamucil can fix it. That's not to even mention me and him talked about how much I have been using the treadmill and he sais I've been using it wrong, Firstly, A few hours a day is not enough to maintain health, He said I needed 10 thousand steps per day. " I added this up, That's three hours a day minimum on a treadmill " minimum" WTF 0.0" And the incline is pointless it's just for weight lifters looking for tone,

This is why I hate doctors you can't do anything to please them :/

Okay, I've finished my fourth set of 30 mins on the treadmill, I think my doctor was on to something,

I do feel really good, Almost like I'm high. And it didn't cost me 45 dollars to get there, I hope I have the energy to do this again tomorrow.

I've been up since midnight, I've managed to get my treadmilling in today before I go off to the dentist.

It's fine in spurts, But I don't know If I can do this every day, Three hours on a treadmill every day is a lot of time.
Oh well, I'm gonna try. As long as it helps my heart, Maybe I will get more used to this as time goes by.
