And they told me that I needed to lose weight and they told me that I needed to go do yoga and learn how to meditate and all the usual things that get told to people who have chronic, poorly defined, vague symptoms.

You know, go do yoga.

Yoga will fix everything.

Well, let me tell you, I tried yoga.

I switched from doing CrossFit to doing the water exercise with the little old ladies.

I did what she told me to do.

And the water exercise was, of course, ridiculously easy.

I didn't find it hard to do at all.

I wasn't getting lightheaded like I was during CrossFit.

So I thought, oh, yeah, this is a better fit.

But I also felt like I wasn't getting any benefit out of it.

But then as things continued to get worse that summer, which by that point, this is in the summer of 2023, I started noticing that it was getting harder to go up the stairs.

I would get very lightheaded at the top of the stairs.

And again, my heart would just be racing.

I wasn't short of breath.

And then I started feeling like a heaviness across my shoulder girdle, you know, over the back of my neck.

And my arms and legs would just feel weak.

And one point it got to the point where I felt like just going up the stairs, I felt like I was going to pass out.

So I got a home heart rate monitor to wear and to keep track of things.

And I noticed a very distinct difference in my heart rate ranges between laying down, sitting up and standing up.
