Why can't I breath and cough and my heart races when I exercise???
Hello all,
I had been fit most of my life...but then my 8 month old son passed away in 1994 and I gave up on myself. I went from fit to FAT and yucky all the way around.
I am 5'1...was always around 115 120pounds most my life but now I hover in at 150. I am only 37 years old and have 5 children.
I have mitro valve prolapse and tacacardia.
I have Asthma as well (not too serious I don't think) but it really gets worse when I work out.
I just walk on a treadmill and after 5 minutes *(walking at only 1.8 miles per hour...maybe 2) I get short of breath, dizzy, start coughing a lot (mostly on the inhale), and my heart races so bad It is hard to get my heart rate down.
I use to dance for lik 4 hours a day and I can't even walk or do anything for 5 minutes without feeling like I am dying! After words I'm like disorented for about 6 hours...sometimes longer sometimes shorter.
what is up with that? Anyone have similar experiences?
