Speaking of setbacks....sort of a setback but maybe not. Still trying to figure it out. When I go for my early morning walks lately, noticed yesterday morning and it happened again today though not as badly, I have had that feeling of "oh, oh, won't be able to get back home". I feel lightheaded a bit dizzy, and sooooo tired I could lie down on the road and sleep. I think it is my beta blocker kicking in as I take it in the a.m. Today I tried to have breakfast first to see if it alleviated that symptom. nope, still felt it.
At my former home I took walks around noon hour - unless it is the heat of the day in summer, then it is evening - so maybe I need to do that here too and will try it tomorrow. In any case it will be warmer! Today my face was so frozen I could hardly speak. The wind was very nippy.
I wanted to go down a trail but my dog's hackles went up and she refused to go and hid behind me. I thought great protector she is! lol. So didn't force her, turned back. I was tired by then anyway.
I just wanted to share how quickly the old fear can come back. I first had those feelings of weakness when i was very ill in the past and it always amazes me how fast they can surface. At least I don't panic anymore, I know I can slow down, keep breathing well, scan the body for tightness such as shoulders tensed up and relax them, look around at nature's beauty as a distraction.
