KIND of SCARY MOMENT OR TWO please helpp meee

[hollaatyaboyy1]

i was at the gym today.... and am battling a little bit of a head cold and chest congestion..... i do not have a fever and symptoms are not siverly bad where i thought i should stay home and rest....

the doctor prrescribed me zithromax (for a sore throat) over the phone and i am currently on day 3 of that 5 day med....

my pre workout supplements today were ~100mg of caffiene and 1/2 a bronkaid tab just to get a boost for the gym.....

i was hitting chest today and didnt feel right flat benching although strengthe was not a problem.... i felt a little light headed and i think the bronkaid was actually doing its medicinal job and breaking up phlem in my chest because i coughed up a little..... as i moved to pec deck i completed a set and let out an exageratted cough ( the ones that are long and you blow out like you flexing your abs) and my head started throbbing (the veins on the side of my head where visably pumping) and all down my left arm (the vein esp) got tight and felt like it was engorged with blood.. i tried coughing like that again ....same thing happend..... it slowly started to go away as i went liter on my next excersises.. and was not apartent during moderate cardio....

i never had high blood pressure and never felt like this before could this be the ghead cold or is this really a serious problem... i was also wearing a powerlifting belt which is the norm while i am lifting..... i have the lingerence of a headache now and really want to know if this has happend to anyone eles?

Not exactly at deaths door, still go see the doc before next gym.

It sounds like your sinuses and you being sick in general are affecting your blood pressure. Do yourself a favor and rest until your cold subsides.

 

[hollaatyaboyy1]

i think i need to do that ...although i am going to alantic city for my friends 21 birthday and going to be partying tommorow.... i hope this subsides soon if not i will go see the doctor..... that arm pain was really intense... it felt like a balloon ready to burst in my arm and headd

 

[machola]

lots of sinus congestion medication increases blood pressure through vasoconstriction. i can't take pseudoephedrine or my bp goes through the roof... bronkaid contains- Ephedrine sulfate 25 mg. i would bet that is the culprit

 

[hollaatyaboyy1]

i will test this out... at the hotel gymm very very lightly tommorow in alantic city wiythout the ephedrine present....i will see if this is indeed the culprit

 

[mitochondria]

hey how, who, where do you got a doc to presribe you stuff over the phone help a bro out, i might be in your area, pm if ya want

 

[hollaatyaboyy1]

this is my family doctor and knows me very well... he doesnt like to do it and i had to make up an excuse for him to call it in for me...sorry broo...

 

[hollaatyaboyy1]

does anoyone have experience with taking zithromax along side ephedra.???? i took the bronkaid at around 5:00 ....and my next schedual dose of zithromax would be around now....do you think this would negitivly affect my blood pressure or interact with the caffiene/ ephedra i took before?? i still feel a bit light headed ..and weary ... i dont know if i should skip my antibiotic untill tommorow morning?? any insight

Hey bro I'd stop the ephda and caffine until your done with the antibiotic. You to stress your system out too much. I'd say you have a sinus infection, the doc gave me the same antibiotic last time I had one. I tried training through it and continued to take my supps and it ended up getting really bad and had to take 3 weeks off. Just my 2 cents.

I'm no doc but I will tell you that even though it su ks your best bet is to stay out of the gym u til your cold subsides not just to give your self time to recoop but to prevent others from getting sick. I personally get pissed when I see some guy in the gym or my clients show up hacking all o er the area. Now on to the antibiotics I myself just got dine with a Zpack and went straight into another more potent one called levaquin ( mostly given to ICU patients) and have noticed a little shortness of breath and a raised heart rate after dri king expresso.

Oh and just so you know working out can actually supress your immune system for up to 72 hours after your work out. Best of luck bro.

Ditto! Just take a week off and see how you feel. Dont stress out your system, there is more to life than the gym! Take some time off and dont feel guilty about it.

I will never understand why people try and train when they are sick.

It's the worse thing you can do and all it does is prolong the sickness by breaking down the body's ability to fight off the infection with an impaired immune system.

Not to mention spreading their rhinovirus all around the gym.

Im not sure why either. WBC count drops as is after a workout. The sinus build up is likely the culprit, and coupled with strenuous activity and energy boosters makes for a not so great combo...

I used to get bronchitis every year in Jan Feb like clockwork and at least once per year.

When a virus goes around some people get it in there stomach some in their head.
Me I am in the head. Nose starts running like a faucet, and then pools in the chest mild cough then huge phlegm formation and hacking. Ususally would take 2-4 weeks to kick it.
It wasn't bad just irritating mild low grade fever and nasty chest heavyness.
all the expectorants and other OTC shit never really helped, just gave bad sides-especially BP.

On my bromelain kick from the last several years I discovered it was a wonderful "kick the bronchitis in the ass outta my body supplement as well" and when the nose faucet went on MG started chomping on the bromelain and vitamin D and nada no more sickness,
In fact anytime I feel something coming on I up my vitamin D and bamm...gone. I also skip training or any type of serious physical exertion hydrate eat less solid food and bust out more vitamins and rest for a few days-not giving the virus time to take hold and charge of my body.

I am a pharmaceutical engineer and at times am exposed to the assholes that come in sick in a cubicle environment it sounds like a TB clinic. I haven't been sick in the last year an a half and don't forsee it in the future either.

If you search on Vitamin D and the immune system you'll find the secret.

i'm just getting back into the gym after being sick for 2 weeks myself.i still have a bit of congestion and started taking my girlfriends antibiotics she had leftover from her recent operation.i know,not the smartest thing to do but with no insurance i gotta do what i gotta do,no?my strength is still kinda where it was when i got sick but the intensity is def not there.gonna keep it light for at least another week before i jump back into it fulll time.

 

[ericraven2003]

When your fighting a virus or bacteria, you should really take a little time off. I know it can be hard to do so, but it can make the difference in getting better in 5 days or so, versus it taking 2 weeks because you are not resting.

 

[DOGGCRAPP]

In my medicinal opinion it sounds like Hoof and Mouth disease with secondary complications of rickets, scabies and a touch of the "heebie jeebies"

I am with Massive G above....rest my friend...you are not going to disenegrate in 4 days off from the gym but you sure will be back to your old self sooner.

Im not a doctor, but the friends say that they are better than a doctor.
I cure infuence, cold, cough and how much other with the following products:
red chili peppers and crushed garlic with mixer, optimal several cough and pains
10 gr day of sodium ascorbate
10 cps of extracted of grapefruit seeds
1 water glass with ACI ionic colloidal silver to 10ppm and the diseases disappear! to try in order to believe

Today the medicine is the business more large to the world and kills much people! other that AAS!
