Wow that's really interesting. I had never heard of "cardiac sensitization" before. I work in the trades and I have the same thing. Now I'm thinking that's almost definitely the cause. I can't find a lot of information on it from search engines. Can you give me some additional information? Is it permanent? Is there anything I can do to mitigate the symptoms? Anything I should take or perhaps anything I should avoid? Like foods, medications, etc? Is it treatable?
I think a disciplined morning exercise routine would strengthen your heart.
Wake up very early. Jog, lift weights, do cardio exercises. Even walking through a park or a walk in the woods very early morning. Nothing too excessive, just get blood pumping above average pulse without pushing your heart over its limit. Over time, doing this daily and not skipping routines, will build up your heart muscle and heal it.
Diet? Cut back on alcohol. Eat beans, salmon, tuna. Replace seed oils with olive oil. Eat trail mix with walnuts or almonds and flaxseed as a healthy snack. Fresh oranges. Get a juicer and drink fresh fruit juice. Steam dark greens as a side for dinner. Spinach, collard greens, swiss chard, broccoli. Switch all bread/rice/tortilla to whole grain. low fat yogurt with fruit such as strawberries or blueberries. Add cherries or blueberries to your whole grain cereal.
Stop worrying. Also, if your trade is harming you or taking a toll, switch trades. I have switched trades so often I know almost all of them. There's lots of ways to make money. Don't be so one dimensional that you only know one way to make money.
Also, I think a little bit of charity is good for the heart. Call it meta-physical. When you help other people who deserve your help, there might be some truth in "having a good heart." Go mow the grass for that old lady down the street whose husband died last year. Coach a little league baseball team. I also think humor is good for the heart. Humor can help you make light of struggles while still taking them seriously.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I do exercise, lift weights 5 days a week. I do need to do more cardio but I'm working on quitting smoking first so I can get back into it without feeling like I'm gonna die.
I also have been doing sober october and haven't had a drink since Sept 30. I'm thinking about just staying off the booze for an extended period, like maybe six months, just to see if I can do it. I've done these no-booze stretches a couple times before just to test myself.
I'm also kind of obsessive when it comes to my diet. I eat pretty healthy overall, I'd say I eat healthier than 95% of the population. I cook all my own meals from whole ingredients because I just can't bring myself to eat processed shit with all the soybean oil, extreme sodium levels, and unpronouncable additives and preservatives.
I do think some sort of activity would help as I tend to be a bit of a loner and a grump. People just kind of piss me off lol. I've been thinking about getting into mma but I've done it before and I can tell you for a fact that my cardio is nowhere near good enough for it at the moment. If I can stay off the booze long enough and quit smoking, and ease into cardio over the next six months I will probably give it a go.
