My heart is f*cked... from fina?
I am in my fifth week of fina and my heartbeat is scaring me....
it will jump from beating normally to beating REALLY fast... 170-190 BPM, without any warning. I can feel my heart beating HARD inside my chest, it pumps so hard.
I usually wake up at night to an irregular heart beat, but today at the gym at the end of a really heavy set I didn't breathe out the way i should've and held my breath for too long... my heart just started racing. It was pumping around 180 bpm for a solid 3-4 minutes... and then returned to normal. I had NEVER had it pump for that long that hard without a direct reason. It scared the sh*t out of me. I was expecting it to stop dead in my chest...
I have no doubt this is because of the fina... because it's never happened before when I wasn't taking it. But is this sort of activity common, and moreover, is it dangerous? I am really afraid of my heart giving out on me without warning :( Help bros...
