Workouts and Chest Pain

Yesterday I thought I was gonna die, well that's a bold way to start.

Never Google up your symptoms..... That's the easiest way to convince yourself that you're dying.

So I've been working out 3 times a day for the past month and during the past couple of weeks I noticed that my chest started paining, sometimes it got worse and sometime it got better. It really tripped me up because I always exercise about one hour daily, cardio sessions. And I'm young. So had I thought clearly I would've clearly recognized that the chances of an Angina is unbelievably low. Oh yeah, that's what Google said..... Angina.

Dad told me to neglect it and I didn't believe him but to be fair, that calmed me a bit, stopped pumping iron but switched to do or die mode... Literally.... And started jumping rope.

And to add to this I have low blood pressure which means my resting heart rate was 84 bpm, or so I thought.

In the haze of it all, internally I had panicked, although I tired to stay calm, I got the thought that death was imminent, which btw, is total BS because some sites listed that as symptoms of a heart attack. And the icing on the cake was that I had jaw pains as well, namely, my left jaw. Whenever I touched my jaw line it would hurt.

It didn't happen. And night I asked my homie Chrome whether he had the same experience, the answer..... A resounding yes.

So I guess my heart was healthy after all and before I went to bed I measured my heart rate and guess what (I may be wrong here but) it turned out to be 50 bpm. Oh wait... Maybe I should Google it up?? It's the equivalent to suicide.

So all I'm saying is livestrong but don't get too comfy, if something is really bothering ya go see a doctor.... A real one.
