Here's the weird thing: some nights I have pressure in my chest. Last night I had it. Then next thing I know, I check the health app in my phone and it reports me that my heart rate dropped under 45 bpm for 10 minutes at 7:22 (went as low as 41 bpm). So I have bradicardia as well. Do you have your heart rate monitored during sleep, for comparison? Mine usually stays at 52-57.

I'm going to see a cardiologist in a few hours, just to be sure.

I went and saw the cardiologist, he wasn't too impressed with my issues, said that a heart rate down to 40 is normal during sleep, although it's not typical for me. Also said that the high heart rate during playing is not that unusual but that I could do an effort test to be sure, since I also have some chest pain when running.

The thing that bothers me is this feeling in my body of something not right that I can't communicate. There are no words to describe it - it's like a "tickling" in the body, a "weakness" whose description fits with no words that I can think of. It's like a "magnetic" feeling, if you will, like you'd be metallic and some magnet would interact with you. It could be some compressed nerve in the back or something else, I don't know what it is.

Comments:

Strong in the squat with 115x5 old age :ibsquatting: :personal-record: , although I'm taking pain medicine which makes you weak, a little. Bench press was difficult but the squat took a lot out of me and the bar might've been a heavier, 25 kg bar (looked thicker and heavier).

I'm doing leg extensions because they train the fully extended portion vs the squat where the flexed portion is emphasized in the quads and I think this helps. It's similar to deadlifts vs hip thrusts: the former helps with the stretched position of the glute, the latter with the squeezed position.

I told you its unimpressive. My sleeping HR is always monitored yes, it seems that it drops down to around my resting HR , +-2 , this period that is around 50.
As for the magnetic weakness feelings, maybe if all other tests fail, check to see if they are some kind of psychosomatic reactions?
Given the chance , i always wanted to say this: 'psycho' and all its derivatives is one of the most misunderstood words. In English it makes you think of American psycho , psychotic episodes etc, but the word is actually Greek and it literally means "soul", primarily in a warm spitrtual way. And of course also used in clinical Psychiatry ( which is also Greek ,  psycho-soul + iatriki-medicine , soul-medicine literally ). Some justice has been just served.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

For a long while I used to stay hunchbacked so in the last few years I made a conscious (and potentially unconscious) effort to stay upright. However, now I always stay super tight with my back and with my shoulders pulled up, like you want to fight someone (like some people think makes you look like a tough guy). And my hunch is that it's because of this - my back never relaxes and stays tight hours and hours, including when lying in bed. If I try to relax while in bed it's like something stops me, like the weight of the head would be too much if I relax completely and I would put too much pressure on my cervical spine. It's hard to describe.
