Dear Dr. Stoll,
I am overweight by about 70lbs., mostly abdominal fat.
I am just starting into exercise after a few years of
not doing much, and going slowly with expert guidance.
A strange thing happened, that puzzled everyone. My
blood pressure, while normally a little high, after
exercising, went down. Why would that happen?
Thanks.

Hi, Robert.
This means be pretty careful. This is a sign of early dysautonomia (some practitioners would call it "adrenal exhaustion") and could be dangerous to you if you persist with the exercise before getting it under control.
If this were me, I would become a serious student of SR and practice it at least twice a day for 20 minutes for at least 6 months before going back to the exercise. In the meantime just walking for an hour or so will still help you without the risk. If you do the walking, you need to do it at least 5 times a week to help with the SR AND the weight loss.
See the glossary for any unfamiliar terms.
THEN, if you still have questions, write again.
Walt

Dr. Stoll,
I've read the numerous dysautonomia archives, adrenal archives, and so on. I seem to have some of the symptoms
of others. I also have only pain in my arms and hands,
pins and needles sometimes, and burning patches in my legs,
as in on the surface of the skin that come and go. I have
no diagnosis, nobody has a clue, my pain seems worse after
eating and exertion, but I can't say for sure every time.
Sometimes my hands feel swollen, but they aren't. Sometimes
they feel like they are burning on the palms, but are not
inflammed. I have been given the "stress" diagnosis, and
told to think about using Paroxetine or Amytriptyline(sp?).
So far, I've refused (don't like meds). BUT, you mentioned
walking, but my pressure dropped some after only walking
10 minutes! I had it checked before and after. I will
take you up on the SR anyway, but this really bothers me(not your fault), just never heard of this stuff and I always thought someone overweight exercising would have a
pressure increase always. Thanks again. (A few of us use
this computer, enjoy the website and your opinions, and since media has/is our work, for what it's worth, we'll
muzzle our skeptics here and pass along a good word for
all your trouble and effort) Take care and thanks.
Robert.

Hey Robert:
Dr Stoll is giving you some damn good advise.
Follow it to a "T", you can't go wrong.
I had same symptoms, followed Dr's advice, ok now.

Thanks, Jack.
Testimonials make more difference than anything I can say most of the time.
Namaste`
Walt
