When I lift, I'll feel perfectly fine, but it takes my heart a long time (hours) to fully settle back to normal afterward. When I run, sprint, or do stair climbs only on days I don't lift, my heart doesn't do the same thing where it takes a long fucking time to calm down as it does after lifting.
And on days where I lift and want to run later on, I can feel my heart want to beat out of sync and will pump faster than it would had I only run that day.
My cardiologist says I'm good, and have had plenty of tests done to confirm that.
So...does weight lifting just effect the heart differently or something? Something my body has to get used to first? I'm only a few weeks into lifting and I'm sort of a DYEL, but I'm fit and healthy otherwise.
Thoughts? Anyone else have this happen?

Bump for interest

OP here, do you experience this too?
Asher Young
Shameless self bump.
Jaxson Brown
Yes sometimes I worry about having a stroke or something but all my ekgs and blood work are normal. I was diagnosed with anxiety though
Bentley Taylor
And after cardio i feel great, sometimes after heavy lifting i feel an abnormal heart rhythm or something. Also get that feeling when I'm going to sleep esp with melatonin
Anthony Bell
Fuck, are you me? What's my favorite color?
It's weird cos while I'm with GAD as well, I'll always make sure I feel good before I work out, or I know I'll have a bad time, yet the bad time will still happen even when it isn't on my mind.
I had an occasional arrhythmia until two years ago when I got an ablation to clear it up, and as recently as this last winter I wore a medical heart monitor for two weeks from my cardiologist, and he tracked the results and said I'm good to go.
I don't know what to do. Does lifting just work your heart in a really different way, and it just needs to get stronger in that particular way for it to stop feeling sketchy?

Stay strong brother

Orange is a close second, but my favorite is yellow.
Do you have any more input about what we're talking about, or are we both just waiting for some answers here?
Ryan Robinson
Probably just waiting. I always thought anxiety was bullshit excuses, but after a few major attacks I saw some doctors.
I worked swing shift for a few years in chemical manufacturing, it just took a tool combined with alcoholism. I'm good now but still get "the bad feeling" creeping in every now and then. I honestly think my brain/ body confuse extreme exhaustion for imminent death. After a nap I'm usually fine. I wish it never started though.
Like i said, all doctors told me I'm physically fine. Perfect blood work, normal ekg, etc. Just mental i guess. Sucks.
Nicholas Roberts
It better not be anxiety, cos even though I have it and acknowledge it as a problem that effects many, I still think it's such a bullshit cop out condition to have.
Anxiety and or depression is truly getting cucked by your own life. That's why I hope it's just a matter of strengthening my heart and not some bullshit mental barrier I can't figure out how to bypass.

You just learn to ignore it. It doesn't go away but you start to realize you're actually not dying.
Jack Cruz
I don't know, my routine is way more casual than that.
Ian Russell
I'm prone to skipped heartbeats, and when that shit happens I fucking lose it and panic. And the only way I've found that avoids skipped beats is to not push myself very hard...but not pushing myself hard is preventing the gains I want.
Chase Nguyen
just be confident breh. btw op's pic have nice quads
Nathaniel Howard
I'm OP, and yes she fucking does.
Oliver Sullivan
OP, I'm not a medical student, but I know what causes the phenomenon. It's the same reason why running burns calories even after you've finished running compared to walking. When you lift, you're damaging your muscles, and then your body heals them back stronger, but it needs nutrients to do so. Your "conscious" work may be done, but your body is working non-stop to repair the damage you did to your muscles from lifting. So essentially, your heart and body are working harder to move materials in and out of the damaged site (like lactic acid).

Finally an answer, thank you.

Get more sleep, like the actual recomended 8 hours, stop eating anything with caffeine or other stimulants, dont take melatonin just turn off the lights when it gets dark and dont stare at your cellphone.
All better, your welcome.
Joshua Richardson
I get 6.5 to 8 hours of sleep a night, and I don't drink coffee or pop because caffeine gives me anxiety attacks, I don't smoke either.
