Can I get some opinions? For two weeks, I have been so run down I cannot really exercise much. Usually I do 6 days a week (4 days cardio, 2/3 days of weight training, yoga here and there). Started a few weeks after having the flu so maybe I still have it? Went to do my usual run a week ago Friday and my heart rate shot up. So I went home and said, "OK day off". Happened again the next day. Sunday did yoga then last week took it pretty easy . Now on third day of no exercise - tried the running thing and made it 1 minute - I feel winded, dizzy sometimes when I wake up. No fever, just wiped out.
Is my life stressful? Well of course, being the FT working mom I am but not more than usual. I am 45 almost 46, so thinking is this the start of menopause? Notice my hair is falling out abit more than ususal. Weight the same (I am normal weight). Diet pretty good. Feel thirsty a lot. Going to the doctor next week and will get blood work.
But wondering if anyone has gone through this? Lots of threads on signs of when to take a break, which I read. But after all this breaking, I am not feeling any stronger. Clearly strong enough to write this long winded email, so let me close by saying: opinions please. Many thanks.
