Bit of a health question here.
Firstly to get an idea. I train regulary. 4-5 times a week. 1 - 2 hours a night. I consider myself to be reasonably fit.
I do smoke about 10 a day. Which may actually be the source of the problem. Well im quite convinced actually. But would like some oppinions of any people who know alot about health and the human body.
The problem is this..
I can train hard for 2 hours, and feel fine.
But during the working day. Sometimes when I walk up 2 flights of stairs I find my heart rate jumps to an extreemly fast rate and I find my self out of breath and feeling really weak and light headed.
I figure this must be due to smoking. But find it strange that such a small effort of walking up some stairs can have such an effect on me, considering how I cope with an intense training session.
Something else ive noticed..
I used to only smoke during the working day. Now ive started to smoke a bit during the evening. Often before training. And since then ive noticed I yawn alot during training.
I remember something about Yawning being a sign of lack of oxygen??
Could this be the fresh layers of tar on my lungs preventing oxygen getting into my body/blood as it would if I hadnt smoked that evening?
Im trying to learn abit more about whats actually happening. Im sure I know why.
And am trying to give up the smoking, but its so damn addictive.
Thanks for any help.
Also if anyone knows any good tips for giving up smoking?
Are those Nicotine patches any good?
Ive heard Hypnotists are well worth a try??
Thanks
Jay
