TweetI was in the field this week and i hurt my left arm, i cant remember how lol but then my tri gets whaled on but some equipment that broke loose while doing tactical movements in the howitzer, we got back thursday night. so friday evening i was at the gym doing chest and some triceps and my arms were like super pumped, which i thought, i didnt take any preworkout or NO product but then i started feeling like crap, had shortness of breath and nausea and then my chest started hurting, so i was ok im going home to rest. woke up the next day, i still felt like crap but it wasnt as bad. i went to walmart and i could barely walk from the parking lot to the store, then i was getting scared cuz i had no clue what was going on, felt like i was having a heart attack, so i went to the ER and told them what was up, they hooked me up with a EKG, took chest xrays and tested my blood pressure and took a vial of my blood. EKG was good, heart beat was good, xrays was fine and blood pressure was good, and then they gave me a baby aspirin and one of those nitroglycerine pills and that took the pressure offer my check and gave me a massage fking head ache. blood test came back and loads of muscle enzymes in it, Dr told me that it released loads of toxins in my blood causing all my symptoms. Told me to take a month or so off from working out til i healed. I researched alot of it and came up with the same crap as the the dr said and some that didnt. what do you guys think? and really a month or so off?

Tweetoh ya they gave me 2 IVs to flush it out of my system

TweetOh man, sorry to hear about that bro. Thats hard to say. Maybe he is being conservative and wants to make sure youre ok. I guess you can see how you feel and make the call. Good luck

Tweetthanks brotha

TweetShucks man that sucks. Taking time off always sucks, but it always feels better when you return. Can't really argue with a doctor though...

TweetWOW!!!


I find that Doctors don' tknow everything, but most will advise with care for your well being.

This is a tough decision to make. I would not recommend anything but what the doctor told you. But in the end bro listen to your body. Its telling you something....take a break.

Perhaps get a second opinion as well, just for peace of mind also.

TweetI would say to keep drinking fluids continuously, as we should keep ourselves hydrated anyway. were your CPK levels high to, that you know of? Listen to your body, you know it the best. If you feel better, take things slower than you usually do. maybe see you doc in a month and have those same tests run again? One thing I do, and make my family do, is get any records, labs, scans, etc from you ER visit and any other doc visits you ever go to. keep them for your own records.

Dman brother.Sorry to hea rit.Hopefully you'll recover fully very quickly and be back to the gym in full force.Doctors will always aire on the side of caution and give you warnings a little exagerated but they would rather you be safe than sorry.

As was stated,take some time and see how you feel.Your body will tell you when its time to go all out again.

TweetDamn Beastit that has to suck big time. But its best to do what the Doctor says. You don't want it to get worse. Just take it easy. I know its easier said then done, but its whats best for you right now. Soon you'll be back to 100% or close to it and you'll be able to return to the gym !

Tweetit does suck, i hate the feeling of starting over lol but im not going to lie, it scared the crap out of me, today i feel better, i didnt have a clue that your body would do that to itself and totally cross some wires like that ( if you know what i mean) but i will have more tests done before i hit it back hard.
