Used My Treadmill 3 Days In A Row, All **** Broke Lose Today, Crying Like A Child, Out Of Breath And More.. Please Help Me !

[hyperpots]

Alot of the Hyperadrenergic POTS reading suggests Excercisting to burn off the excess Adrenaline.

I used my Treadmill 3 days in a row. I walked a mile the first day, 1.5 miles the 2nd day, and 1.5 miles yesterday. Felt good while I was doing it. I don't feel like I was "Pushing" to complete this. All the while, I've been drinking more and increasing my Salt intake.

All **** broke lose today and I don't understand the correlation.

All along, I don't have strength issues standing, just Head Symptoms standing. I can walk the Malls usually without problem other than I'm exhausted after I do this, but I've been walking the malls at least 2 x week for a long time.

Woke up today with Terrible Anxiety and It's been all day ! I know who I am, but I have super confused all day.

Felt like I was being choked in the Neck and could feel severe Blood Flow reduction today in my Head, which sent me into the Emotional Crying stuff.

The Adrenaline has been all day.. I've taken Xanax, Benadryl, Percocet... Nothing has helped.... I would have went to the ER if I didn't have my ANS Specialist Appt. I've been waiting for tomorrow.

I sure hope I can get some help. I am suffering Beyond Suffering. On top of the Above symptoms, I had several Short of Breath Episodes all day just sitting in my office chair. It's the overstimulation causing the Breathing stuff.. I can tell.

Did I crush my Adrenals ? Peeing excessively all day as well while I'm trying to stay Hydrated.... I've read and researched so much... I hope the Meds I'm not on that I need to be on will bring me some relief.

Can Anyone Relate to This ?

How I can sit here and write this is Beyond Me. Feels like Brain Damage. So, I overdid it Obviously. Some on the Lyme board say I released Toxins from my Lymphatic system and perhaps killed off a big Load of my Lyme from the sweating and increase in body core temp. Alot of theory and no real answers.

Oh that line about the toxins I get that.

I get a bad feeling inside that just feels like poison. It just feels like it's gonna get me.

Well it does get me it makes me feel down right awful.

The reaction you had today I guess is why I caved and I really only do a little bit each day.

I tried to carry on like normal for a long time and I kept getting knocked down until I just became afraid to try any more.

I do hope you feel better and that you can find a lifestyle that you are happy with that is satisfactory to you with activity level.

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.

Hi Steven

I am so sorry you are feeling so distraught! The ups and downs of this illness are not for the weak! I can definately relate to the symptoms you are describing. In fact just like you when I first got sick I tried to exercise even more to get rid of the adrenaline but soon found out that was only wreaking havoc on my system even more! I was hysterical and thought I was going nuts....its amazing how bad too much adrenaline can make you feel when your system isnt using it properly lol! You have to take things slowly. Our systems are not normal and do not deal with adrenaline issues normally thats the issue so massive amounts of exercise is not going to help. Try to stay as calm as you can and know this too shall pass and that information is power...the more you come to understand this illness the better you will become at coping with all the ups and downs it throws at you...and know that you have support here when you need it
