Thanks Hip. I'll look into those heaters, anything to relieve this heavy feeling. This symptom is the main reason I'm forced to be on my back for most of the day. What's strange is I sometimes get temporary relief from an ice pack on my back and a spike mat meant for pain that I got from Amazon. If you know of any other things that can help, please let me know.
Sometimes along with the heaviness sensation I get air hunger. Deep breaths but no relief even though the pulse oximeter shows 97-98%. Is there anything that helps relieve this symptom?
Heaviness is muscle lactic acid, as our OXPHOS is mangled in the (most likely) complex V step of ATP synthesis, you are burning anaerobically. Eating low carb will keep down oxi stress, hence some level of successes with it., but it can be double edged with other health issues.
Air hunger, the old enemy. is common symptom and seems to worsen in crashes, comes from poor exchange of o2 in mito and Co2 builds up, poisoning us. Stretching out and bending over alleviate it, as will copious amounts of mineral water and/or sodium bicarbonate to buffer. Its a real pain in ass symptom. Forget O2 meter wont show anything, nor will an asthma volume test, by all medical accounts, lungs work fine.
Sauna, sweating and hot baths or hot tubs, very fast to remove lactic, and help air hunger lower.
I am not really troubled much by brain fog recently, prehaps its air hunger of the brain. I mean what we really expierence is all body o2 hunger, if you really get down to it.
We dont really know why we are like this, the million dollar question.
