Slice of Chaotic Life

The daily life of a celibate middle-aged man.

Mixed signals

Posted by Itlandm on September 21, 2012

I came home from work with a slight headache, a slightly sore throat, and feeling vaguely lightheaded (although that could be because it is Friday…) After fending off a wild hunger pang, I put on the pulse watch to verify that my pulse was in sick mode (20 beats or so above normal), as I felt like. It was not. It was perfectly normal. And so I put on my running shoes and went walking and jogging for close to an hour. Well, walking mostly. It felt kind of strange to jog with a headache. But when I did, my pulse rose at the normal pace, and when I went back to walking, the pulse fell back very quickly. Not like the previous week, where the pulse stayed up for a much longer time. For the first 40 minutes or so, it fell back below 115, although it stopped a little higher for the last stretch. This is normal too.

So basically the headache and sore throat seems to not make any impression on the rest of my body. That feels kind of weird. Well, it is Friday night and I would rather not go on a long trip anyway, so a small hour shall be enough.
