Hi guys,
My Doc wanted to dismiss I had hypertension and I had this ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) done on me. Every time I went to see him and he measured my blood pressure it came out very high and that is the reason why he ended ordering the ABPM. The results of the ABPM came out fine: no hypertension/high blood pressure. Probably, when I get to visit my Doc I get very nervous and that is the reason why the measurements of my blood pressure where high, but the 24 hour monitoring showed I don?t have hypertension. I?m 22 years old and my weight is normal (1.84m, 79kg).
That said?I?m ALWAYS very anxious (I have generalized anxiety disorder). Sometimes I get horrible panic attack and my heart beat speeds up to the point I sometimes think I?m going to faint. But I suppose this is different from tachycardia.
Lately I?ve been able to calm myself down a little bit and when I?m out of POIS I?ve been able to go back to running. My pace Isn?t as good as it used to be but I still feel a lot of pleasure and satisfaction after doing some running. I have to say that I don?t feel like my heart beat rises too much (having in mind I?m practicing sport). But in POIS, my performance is so much worse. I feel mentally and physically exhausted, although I don?t remember experimenting tachycardia. And like I?ve said before, I?m 22 years old. It is so sad.
Thanks,
PBO.
