Does anyone here get shortness of breath and fast heart rate as part of their fibro? I know I've lost some cardio fitness since I got sick two years ago, but before that I was very active, and even with the fibro, I'm not bed-bound (I work full time).
Lately, though, I've been noticing that mild exertion like sweeping the floor or taking the garbage out has me breathing/heart beating as hard and sweating as hard as I used to when I'd get up to my maximum target heart rate on the elliptical or treadmill. I mean, I'm not in as good a shape as when I was training, but sheesh . . . the garbage? really?
So I was wondering if this is just a fibro thing or whether I should start freaking out that I'm gonna drop dead of a coronary or something.
Thanks, all!
