I'm trying to figure out why I feel better when I get up for 5, 10 or 15 minutes and why my resting HR seems to go down after I lie back down. I'm wondering if I would be better off getting up briefly every 20-30 minutes instead of resting 45+ minutes.
I've been in a crash since Solstice. I've PEMed myself into horrible worse crashes on Jan 2 (by driving to do 45 mins worth of errands) and then two days ago (by doing moderate housework for <10 min at a stretch, once in the am and once in the PM). I am an idiot, I'll just get that out of the way.
Just got a heart rate monitor and realized my hr is going up to 120 when walking around, so I'm freaking out and resting all the time, except for eating and bathroom breaks and an epsom salt bath this morning to try to get some more magnesium into me. BUt I'm wondering if I shouldn't be doing a certain amount of activity every half hour or so.
@Sherlock I"m especially curious to hear more about your curing yourself of PEM with short exercise. Anyone else here done that? @Kimsie, do you think 10 minutes of sitting up or slow walking around (keeping HR under 110) would be helpful or harmful while the iron sulfur clusters are coming back online?
