4 miles avg 7:03 pace with burpees. I didn't feel right while I was running, still that strange tightness in my chest, like I couldn't breathe, and when I tried to take a deep breath I had an aching feeling there.
This is where men who feel uncomfortable hearing about female reproductive issues should stop reading: I had the same feeling a couple hours later while I was at the grocery store and it only got worse. I started taking the pill a week ago because I was having "issues," bleeding all the time. I remembered the pill making me have high blood pressure when I tried it before so I checked it at the machine at the store, higher than usual, stopped by another store on the way home, even higher, 151/94. I called my doctor and the nurse said I should go to the emergency room to make sure I didn't have a blood clot. So I spent the afternoon at the emergency room, EKG, CT scan, and everything was fine, except that my blood pressure was really high. When they drew 5 vials of blood to do some tests I thought, "There goes all the blood I saved by going on this stupid pill!" I stopped taking the pill. I really feel for that woman in the New Testament with "an issue of blood." |
