Worried For Rapid Heartbeat And Shortness Of Breath After Workouts
Hi, I am a 26 years old male actively involve myself moderate to high intensity training daily. I usually do a 6 days a week training of 1-1.5 hrs in weights room/ basketball. So I haven't stopped training for 9 days, this morning I woke up tired and sleepy and sore from yesterday afternoon training, then I went to the gym and hit the weights for about an hour, was feeling tired all day and then I played basketball for half an hour just in the evening. Since then I felt different with my breathing pace, almost feels like as if I am short of breath and my heart rate was kind of rapid. I eat a pretty clean diet. I am just kind of worried. Any advices for me for this time being? thanks. William

Hi William
After going through the details provided by you its clear that you are just pushing your body to extremes. What's the hurry buddy just take it easy. Whenever we exert or hit weights our muscles undergo catabolism which then need some time to recover from that injury which you are not giving to your body and doing total injustice.
I want to suggest you that make a proper schedule of 5 days work out in a week that too bot more than an hour. And before and after every workout take a warmup and cool down of 15 mins each respectively.
Your heavy activity schedule is the reason of your tiredness activity nd fatigue. Follow the advice given and feel the difference.
Good Luck
