fatigue changing in the heart when you get older. sports science

I don't think it's exactly the amount of SLEEP that you get that causes higher levels of fatigue. It's more along the lines of "wear and tear" mentioned above. All organs deteriorate with age and at an older age, they cannot function to their maximum capabilities. Muscles get weaker and cannot support a fast heartbeat and fast breathing, other organs cannot control your blood sugar levels, etc.

It could be that your husband suffers from sleep apnea.  Untreated, this can cause heart attacks but most commonly causes fatigue.  I knew my husband had it for years but was surprised to learn that I have a more severe case than he does.  My life is totallly different now that I am using a CPAP machine.  I can stay away during movies and classes and long drives and my energy level is way up.  I hope this helps.

Depends on a number of factors, but two big reasons could be: (1) calcium depletion, especially if you are older...take a Cal-Mag-Zince supplement every day. (3) dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance if it is sports related. Drink lots of fluids before, during, and after exercise. Someone else already recommended sports drinks. There are excellent ones and others that are a waste of money, so choose wisely.

It may seem obvious, but you are not getting "old" and at the same time you are no longer 22.  One indication of your fitness is the lead time until you feel fully sore.  That's a good thing in the sense that your muscles and related connective and support tissues seem very fit.  If it takes five days to "recover" is that bad?  Too hard to tell because the nature of "playing hard" and "working hard" could easily impact how long any muscle soreness takes to dissipate.  I would ask about the levels of activity and your diet and whether the soreness tends to come from repetitive things (if you played a racket sport since you were 15 you may now be experiencing both new and cumulative effects, particularly if you are continuing to try and play at the same levels you played 15 years ago).  See a sports medicine doctor - he or she can do some really good analytics around activity/diet/history and give you the real scoop on at least most of what you feel is going on.  FYI, as someone who has hit 50 and tried at times to act like a fit 37 year old, experience has taught me to take on less traumatizing activities and recognize healthy alternatives to keep down injuries, stay fit and maintain flexibility.  A nutritionist and sports doctor have been invaluable.

Sometimes it happens. If you have been excersizing more, if you've made any changes in your life that were stressful, if you've changed your diet. \n\nCycles change as women mature and you might notice differences in how blood regulates itself when you are 18, 21, 25, 30 and 35.\n\nIt is absolutely nothing to worry about.

If you really have a question about your health its always best to see your doctor. Now having said that the body goes through many changes in its lifetime. I think you should be fine you’re just out of shape.

Athletes sometimes have some thickening of their heart wall and some wierd EKG changes, but it may still be within the range of normal for them.  If they are able to perform well, it is hard to say they have a problem.  But occasionally when we thought they were OK, they drop dead during performance.  Its best that they be evaluated by a cardiologist. They don't always know for sure either, but they know more than the rest of us.  As far as the older guy who can't get around well, he has a problem.  He needs a thorough evaluation by a cardiologist.  Needs to make sure he doesn't have any heart attacks to further weaken his heart.  If he has a valve problem, it may need to be corrected surgically.  Most of them are on ACE inhibitors or ARB drugs to dilate the arterioles and reduce "afterload" on the heart.  Most are on a low salt diet.  Digoxin (Lanoxin), which is originally a derivative from the foxglove plant, helps alot of these folks, helps their heart to beat stronger.  If they swell up with fluid, they need Lasix (furosemide), a diuretic, and then they will need potassium because the lasix knocks out the potassium.  Many will live a fairly long life this way, but if it gets progressive, they will need a heart transplant, which is hard to come by.  They need to walk to get some exercise, but they need to get plenty of rest and not overexert.  Big feasts on the holidays tends to stress them out and overload them with salt, which often puts them into overt pulmonary edema and in the ER.  Eating too much stresses them just as much as exercising too much.

Two things:\n\n1.  Your metabolism does slow down as you age.  However, 65 pounds is a lot to gain over that time frame if you're **sure** you haven't decreased your exercise levels and your eating habits have improved.\n\n2.  It could be thyroid trouble.  Go see your primary care physician or an endocrinologist to be examined/tested for it.\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/thyroid_disorders/aa34887.asp

There is a small mathematical calculation. \n220-Your age(Years)=Maximum heart rate

I'm 45 and I was always tired with no energy, people told me I was to young to feel tired all the time so I went to the doctor and took blood test and I was real bad amenia and now I'm taking treatments for it you really need to go get blood test done and make sure you have an iron ananalsy to see if your body holds iron mind did not absorb iron so get it checked before it could lead to alot of other things to go wrong...

it may be your hormones changing as you get older things change, my mom went through the same thing and found it just to be stress and aging. she found the best thing that worked was proactive!

Many women maybe feeling tired then because of rapidly changing hormone levels. That is pretty normal. So are the dull aches!

They change your hormone levels. A doctor told me once that doing this for extended periods of time can lead to  brittle bones in later life. You should get proper medical advice if you are going to  muck around with your hormones. It can make you very sick.

Hi, I've had PVCs for many years and they come and go.  At first, I was scared to death and thought that something was seriously wrong with my heart.  After visiting the cardiologist and having a bunch of tests, I learned that my PVCs are totally harmless and most likely the result of stress.  I'm not a doctor, but I've had PVCs off and on for over 10 years and I can tell you that in the absence of other symptoms they're considered totally harmless.  Mine tend to come at night, right around bedtime, if at all.  Like you, I take vitamins (including all the ones you mentioned).  I would suggest you try taking some Magnesium, that seems to have helped me a great deal.  The other thing that helps is exercise -- cardio, and lots of it.  Oh, and by the way -- everyone gets skipped heartbeats, but not everyone notices them.  I think you can relax about your PVCs.  Mention them to your doctor at your next regular checkup, or if they return and suddenly get worse then by all means make that appointment sooner rather than later.  However, your PVCs are most likely just a nuisance.

Could be axiety attacks-that's about the age my daughter got them-stress related-but could be serious I was 26 when I had my first heart attack after egnoring some of the same symtoms.\nTell her to have a doctor check her out and if it's stress he can give her something to help her and you will feel better know that she is not seriously ill.
