Sometimes after our workouts I feel completely wiped. (I refer to this as "blowing a gasket"). It's all I can do to drag myself to the car and drive home, which is luckily not very far. Usually it's a sprint workout that will do it. Let's just say that it makes it hard to get work done the rest of the day... Does this happen to anyone else? Any suggestions, other than "don't swim as hard," which seems to be defeat the reason why I am there in the first place? (It doesn't seem to me that I am swimming harder than anyone else).
I would be really interested in your bp before and after readings. I am not a doctor but, joking aside, I am a hypo, and find this stuff fascinating. My prediction: if you are normal, your bp should go up after a hard sprint. Or at least during it (though how to measure you bp mid-50 is problematic.)
Oh, I agree -- my bp is higher during the sprint and even immediately afterward. It's after cooling down that I suspect it might be lower (that's when I feel faint).
I'll see if I can scare up a monitor.
