Mr Muscle Beach

What happen to me the last weeks makes me so sick in my head that I could stop all together AGAIN.

Monday 2 weeks ago I switched from HIIT to 45 minutes cardio.  Was really in extreme good mood full of motivation. My weight was hitting new records lows like 101.5 kg !!! All in all all super cool.

On Tuesday 2 weeks ago I had bit of running nose anyway I started 45 min cardio. At around 35 minutes into it I extremely felt tired exhausted. Mhhhh something wrong… Na I thought its just because I did all the time HIIT and my body needs to adjust again. 40 min later I really felt uncomfortable around the chest bit shortness of breath. I stopped immediately and sat down. The pain in the chest stopped after like 5 minutes or so but i felt really like s…t.

I did Wednesday and Thursday no work out and no cardio, still I feel bad and sometimes uncomfortable around the chest. Friday was all back normal I feel great again. So better I take Saturday off training as well and made appointment with my doctor to make sure and do a full bodycheck up. Sunday morning I did 45 minutes cardio—– big mistake after the cardio in the afternoon chest pain came back and did not go away. Really uncomfortable feeling

Monday morning 8:30 at the doctor

He did  an ECG and said you have some changes and it looks not normal !!!! Blood was taken as well, result showed that I have there some changes as well. He checked my heart with ultrasound and came to the diagnosis mild myocarditis and possible pericarditis.  Me in total denial…. How da f..k can this happen to ME. I do take care of my body eat healthy do sport and now this….

He said 4 weeks zero sport nothing which elevates my heart rate with the comment Myocarditis can cause Sudden Death arghhhh.

Now another week has past and the pain starts to faint away a bit. On Wednesday I had a appointment with a cardiologist in a hospital. He did some more test and came to the diagnosis that I do have changes in that ECG but he said I have ONLY a pericarditis, which was good news he said. Just take it very easy for some weeks …. oh dear

Today is the first day with the pain almost gone, I hope it will stay like this.

In regards to my fitness goals. it will all stay the same. I just have to complete them a bit later. Nutrition, I reduced of course my protein intake, I just eat normal now till all is back on track and try to keep my current weight.

I WILL NOT GIVE UP
