What happens to you if you "push thrue" over load?

Post Reply New Topic

I am constantly pushing my max stimuli however if I get injured no mater how miner while at this state I get dizzy, weak, my heart races and I am unable to talk or move for lest 15 minutes. I have to sit against some thing to keep me up right. Has any one experienced this or any thing similar ?

what do you mean, 'get injured'?
are you pushing yourself through your anabolic limit or aerobic limit, and for how long?
heart rate, are you out of breath or do you feel out of oxygen?
the reason i ask is because stopping suddenly like that can cause all manner of things to happen which would explain partly the 15 minutes it takes you to recover, when all it was is an instinctive mental block associating injury with life threatening situation, or something like your brain releasing too much adrenalin into an already overloaded system.

i've not seen anything like this as far as i can tell but i may have if you can describe it a little more.

A better description would be take some one who is sound sensitive and give him or her a job working on jet turbines. I ran cross country in school so i have a decent idea of my athletic limits.
While pushing the stress levels that come from trying to act "normal" read NT type in a loud, distractive work environment if I were to lets say hit my hand with a hammer, painful but not life threatening. My heart will reach about 130 bpm I will get buzzing in my ears just before all the sound sound like they are being muffled by ear plugs then I get very weak and have to sit down. I shut down like shock from a major injuries, except that after a quiet period I recover with no ill effect other than extreme exhaustion.

You could be close to coming to fainting, a panic attack, a seizure, or many other things. If I were you I would talk to a doctor about it; they might want to run some tests on you. If you have an underlying heart condition that you are not aware of, it's nothing to fool around with.

I have experienced something similar; I was extremely physically fit, but after pushing max stimuli for a long period of time, I started getting dizzy and weak in the legs. I got a tilt table test and it was determined that I had vaso-vagal presyncope. A form of dysautonomia where the brain and heart don't function well together in maintaining proper heartrate and blood pressure to keep the blood going to the brain. The heart will race in an attempt to keep the blood going to the brain, while the blood pressure may be low. If that doesn't work a person will faint so the heart won't have to fight gravity to get the blood to the brain.

It is normal though for a person's to get an adrenaline rush after being injured and the heartrate to increase as a result of the adrenaline rush. Some people pass out after getting injured; it just depends on the person, their pain tolerance, physical condition, underlying health problems, and a host of other possible factors.

If this is something new for you that hasn't happened in the past, it makes it even more important that you see a doctor, because it means something has changed. It could be psychological or physical, but the safe thing to do is talk to a doctor.

Have had at lest one of the following, eeg, ekg, cat scan, mri, heart stress test and two types of diabetic test. As of yet no cause. Borderline diabetic diet controlled. I have 2 seizures a year as the cause is for me is know and is in my control. I have been poked and prodded by the witch doctors enough for awhile. But I will ask the doctor about the tilt table test as he has not gotten any closer than on day one when he eliminated panic attacks and I do have low blood pressure and normally low heart rate.

It took me two years of all these tests, + an echocardiogram; I insisted on a tilt table test, after finding out about it, although the GP didn't think that was the problem. Sure enough it was.

Good luck. After mine turned out positive, the doctor just told me to get enough salt and drink plenty of fluids to keep my blood volume correct. Haven't had the problem, now, in over a year, thank goodness. In general, though, my heart beats faster than it used to, to keep the blood flow going to my head.

Thanks for the feed back and I will talk to my doctor.
