:( Am I falling apart?????

[live4christp1]

Got up this morning at 5:00 for my Zumba 20 minute express which I have been doing each morning at 5:00 for about 6 weeks now. (Have also been doing Zumba Flat Abs in the evenings and every other evening adding Zumba Sculpt & Tone or Zumba Cardio Party). Haven't had any issues as of yet other than being a little sore.

This morning when I got up I wasn't feeling great......had a little bit of a headache and my shoulders are tight and sore. About 4 minutes in I felt kind of dizzy and heart felt like it was racing a little so I sat down. Didn't ever feel up to finish it. Just rested and drank some water. Thought maybe I had cut my calories back to much yesterday (had a Lean Cuisine for lunch, a Yoplait light yogurt and a small salad for dinner). Feeling okay now, just a little tired.

A few minutes ago I am sitting here at my desk and right behind my left inside ankle started to tingle/tickle......now it is puffy. It's not tender or sore or anything.....just puffy/swollen. I have not injured it. Maybe it's due to the fact that I wore sandles today for the first time in quiet a while.....have been wearing socks & sneakers everyday.

Maybe I'm overdoing it......don't know.

Thoughts?

Ah, the sandals. You know, I finally figured out recently (via my mother the former nurse) that my sandals were the reason my feet were swelling.

I started wearing tennis shoes to see if she was right and she was. She said that the strapping on the sandals does not give you proper circulation.

So in short, yes you are old and falling apart.

It could just very well be that you are under the weather. Just take it easy for the next couple of days and see how you feel. It it continues, then go see your doctor.
The odd thing is that I get a tickle on the inside of my left ankle too. I get it every few days, just for a moment or two. No swelling. I don't think much of it. I figure it's just one of those "getting old" things.

I most definately must be falling apart. Yesterday I went to put some lotion on my arms.....and noted that my right arm.....just about an inch down from the inside bend of the elbow (were your veins are for drawing blood) was very tender....no marks there.....just really tender and thought "well that's odd". Well today in that same spot it's all splotchy & purple bruised.......right around a mole that is there.

For the last couple of days my gums have been bleeding lots when brushing......gross I know......sorry.

And sitting here just now I look down and the top of my hand is bleeding......like there is a little pore on top of the vein on the back of my hand that is bleeding...................like something punctured it but I know nothing did.

If you're concerned, go to the doctor. It doesn't sound like you're eating enough calories, if what you described as what you ate is what you usually eat.

You definitely need to call your doctor for an appointment, the spontaneous bruising and bleeding should not be ignored. Feeling light headed while exercising and the swollen feet may or may not be related, but I would mention those too. It's time for a complete check-up to see what is going on.
