My waking HR was 109. It's been high since weds night. Im going to go see a doctor

Good idea mate. Best to get it checked. What's your resting HR?

it's between 50 and 70 now. but long story short i had to go to hospital (gp send me there) b/c there was a problem with my heart shown on the ECG, showed a flutter pattern. GP called me an ambulance and i spent a night at the hospital. Magically my heart went into sinus in the morning and they discharged me that day. Im on beta blockers and blood thinners now so i cant play contact sport anymore. No basketball for 5 months. Cardiologist wants to do an ablation. Im not sure i want that but he knows better i guess. so idk. never had surgery before.. bit scary.

wtf. fuck man.

as for cardiac ablation etc -> 2nd & 3rd opinions for sure.

I've had some pretty scary heart palpitations as well, but 3 years ago, before I quit that job that had me pulling all nighters & just stressful af.. I'd try going to sleep and my heart would be racing, felt like I was going to have a heart attack. Happened quite frequently towards the end, thought I was going to die. Unlike you (i'm not as smart), I didn't go to the doc or anything, instead I just quit my job ehh. I mean it helped, haven't had those symptoms since I "recovered" from that environment (I imagine some damage was done though). But I have had some weird heart stuff throughout my life. One thing I get on occasion is that massive "jolt": like out of nowhere, usually when lying down/resting, a massive jolt. I went to a few docs when I was younger to figure it out, they said I was fine but they didn't really do much investigation other than a few scans/tests. I personally don't think that's very normal, but who knows. I haven't had one of those in a while, but last week I had one. Only way I can explain it is, probably a shock from one of those AED devices. ehh. Btw, i've also had crazy high waking HR's, even when being in great condition. In fact, if i'm going to have a racing HR now, it'd most likely be in the morning after getting TOO MUCH sleep. It feels as if my body is 'forcing me to wake up'. Doesn't happen often though.

Anyway, really **hoping** you don't have to get any operations or anything like that. Who knows, the stuff you're experiencing right now could be related to other factors, and once those are addressed, might not need an op .. that's why i'd get a few opinions first. I mean, i'd personally want to figure out if it's potentially the caffeine or some other supplementation you're taking, or work/life/stress etc before getting an op, but obviously you'd want the help of some docs to figure that out -> not just do it on your own.

peace man!

light day.

i dropped 1s off my PR without trying!! loool. weird, i could have swore it said 1:27:11 ... just checked the results:

http://www.wildsideonline.net/results/2018/a1ahalf.php

says 1:27:10.81

but, it says 25th OA like i've been writing............... and my screenshot says 26th OA.

I'll pick and choose the 1:27:10 AND the 25th OA!

 

How did I forget to bump this with the A1A half? fail!

Just updated my original race schedule post. Added another half marathon on February 18, which I won't take "as seriously" -> using it as a learning experience for the Coral Springs Half Marathon, which I want to place top 3 in. Started picturing myself training for Coral Springs so much, then just having a crap race because of something simple I overlooked (like not drinking water at a stop, or having some energy gel or something), who knows. So, going to try and figure that stuff out in that Publix A1A half.

well that turned out great.. smart move to get a half in before the half I really care about.

1:27:11 with tons of PR's!

Split times of top 4 men in Australia 100m Nationals

nice to see all of those little hundredths add up to victory for the winner. some fly segments being identical, but #1 really got it done by 30m.
