Question 2

i am spottin after exercise sections please what is the cause of this?

Need an evaluation: Please see gyn/family doc. It is the safest thing to do instead people guessing and saying it's no big deal. Worrying about it is also wastes time and energy.

Question 3

why do i puke after exercise?

Accepted Answer

We don't know: This happens but doctors really don't understand why it happens.  Notice whatever pattern with food or exercise and tell your doctor about it.  However don't expect an answer.  Pheochromocytoma - very rare, but it occurs more with that.  Specific exercise that increases pressure in abdomen and makes reflux more likely might cause it.  Under or over hydration.    Take blood pressure pulse after.

Question 4

is it okay to take a bath after exercise?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Bath or shower both ok after exercise.

Question 5

what causes difficulty breathing after exercise?

Accepted Answer

Catching up.: In a healthy state we consume o2 and produce more co2 during exercise. The "difficulty"  breathing we feel, is the need to exhale the co2. Our respiratory drive is tied more to getting out the co2 than getting in the o2. It is an interesting question on why is the body "wired" that way.

Question 6

why does my ankle keep giving out after exercise?

Accepted Answer

Weak ligaments: If your ankle is giving out alot, you need to strengthen it.  Making the full alphabet with your ankles, trying to stand on one leg and then hopping as you become stronger are all great exercises for the ankles.  Wearing an ankle support, icing after activity are key and shoes with ankle support.  If these donot help, you need to see your physician.

Question 7

what is a good pulse rate at rest after exercise?

Accepted Answer

Not specific: Probably a better indicator of fitness is how long it takes for your heart rate to return to 
baseline after exercise
in general the lower you heart rate is the more fit you are - at least from an aerobic
perspective
some of the best athletes have resting pulse
rates in the 40s and 50s.

Question 8

how much can blood pressure increase after exercise?

Accepted Answer

Variable : It's not unusual for BP to get up to 200 with really vigorous exercise.  If it gets much higher than that, it's getting a bit too high.

Question 9

how to quickly treat difficulty breathing after exercise?

Accepted Answer

Shortness of breath: Some level of shortness of breath is normal after exercise. But if it is disproportinate or dysnea on exertion is not normal. You need work-up to rule out blocks in heart arteries.

Question 10

how long does blood pressure stay elevated after exercise?

Fitness: Depends on your physical fitness. A healthy heart will recover from exercise faster than an unhealthy one. A good rule of thumb is that your heart rate should decrease by 20pts within 2 minutes.
