I was just reading the thread on the main board about running and I'm thinking, "Why can't I run?"
I've never been able to do any vigorous exercise without vomiting or almost fainting.
From kindergarten to now, I've never been able to run or do vigorous exercise for a small length of time. I used to vomit and feel nauseous and faint all the time in my physical education class.
This is part of the reason why I don't like to exercise. I'm trying to exercise more now, but I still can't exercise vigorously. I can't jog for more than 3 or 4 minutes without feeling out of breath and sick to my stomach. If I continue I know I will start blacking out. I mostly speed walk. Walking I can do forever.
Even just trudging through the snow, I blacked out several times (I lost my vision and hearing, but I didn't fall to the ground).
Is there something wrong with me? Have I just been really out of shape my whole life or is there something wrong with my heart or something?
