Q: pulse slow to normalize
asked by: Ruthmurphy on March 8th, 2009

When I was in High School I was doing heart monitoring in Biology - I was about 15 and Im now 37.

Im having health problems now and it made me think back...

We all had to run around the Science block 10 times - keeping the pace fast.
Prior to doing this we all recorded our pulses. Then after the run we had to record our pulse every few minutes and find out how long it took to return to normal.

Everyone could leave for lunch when their pulse returned to starting point but being the last one in the room my pulse had not dropped at all - 30mins after stopping running - My teacher let me go for lunch so I never actually found out how long it took for my pulse to return to normal.

I had always been an active student playing in hockey, netball and sprinting, but after that time I would get chest pains. I could not keep on running for the pain, so sadly gave up sport.

Do you know what might have been happening to me then? I'm wondering if I should bring it up with my Neurologist at my next appointment. Im having strange smptoms at the moment - ranging from paraylisis, tunnel vision, blindness, legs giving way, purple colouring in arms, shaking and chest pains

Does anyone have the this?

I think that normalization of your pulse has more to do with the efficiency of your heart than of your nerves. The symptoms that you mention are a combination of both heart and nerves. I'd suggest that you see a Cardiologist and have this specialist work TOGETHER with your Neurologist to get a full picture of what's going on with your health. At the moment, you can concentrate on breathing ... and bring your attention to your breath and your heartbeat to give your body more energy. sunny
