I'm someone who does a lot better with walking and general gentle activity. Hard cardio especially feels hard on my body. My face turns bright red (as in abnormal red, scary looking) and it takes me forever to recover, I get inflammed from it.

I do have NH Follicular Lymphoma, could that be it? I was checked for Myasthenia Gravis and it was negative. It’s do annoying but alarming, especially the nausea and throwing up.


I’m no doctor, but I think it might be the 6000 miles per day you are walking.

I used to get this all the time. It stopped and I don't know why. My skin would be very itchy when I first started sweating and then would stop hurting after a few minutes. Another time, I ate a high histamine food and my throat began to swell shut. I didn't know it was an anaphylactic reaction--never had one before that or since and I can eat that same food with no problem now.

I stopped eating other foods that I found out I was allergic to (dairy) and wonder if that helped.

Doctors don't believe me because I'm fat and my labs are normal, but they've only run a stress test once, and then they told me I need BP meds. I have POTS and probably EDS (but no formal diagnosis).

I do low-impact, low-stress exercise like qigong, tai chi, some gentle yoga and stretching and I walk (when I can). It's rough.


POTs is not real. Doctors give out the diagnosis when they don't know what is wrong.

You should see a cardiologist. Seriously, you may have heart disease. Women often get those types of symptoms, not necessarily chest pain.

I have exercise intolerance. I can do exercise but there's a short limit and then I am simply enervated, I sit or lie down, no real thoughts, spent. 8 have a diagnosed mitochondrial disease which includes exercise intolerance.
