Dont know if its just me...but after exercising when im in the cool down faze is when i feel the worst...during its not so bad... But after in terms of dizzyness and breathing

Ive had plenty of fluids and sodium i would think


It doesnt last to aweful long 10-15 mins


In the past had my heart looked at..so dont think its that

Maybe you can try eating more carbohydrates before exercising?
Also thalassemia can cause low ATP. So creatine could help.
Finally you could check your blood pressure while you are coolling down. Maybe the change from intense exercise to cooling down can affect your blood pressure.

I would think that you got dehydrated, but it could be a million things.

My best advice is to start some training, it will help on so many levels and might help you through the cooldown faze without any pains.

Nothing to loose :)

You could try cycling if available or swimining.

The stronger your body gets by training, the less pain you suffer from.

I would suggest the same things..

Swimming would be easier on joints

Depending on if there is a lot of hills around biking would be easier than treadmill

If you go cycling, which is very good for your joints, put your bike in the lowest gear.
