Hi ladies!
I have a weird question for everyone. Long story short, after a couple of months of weird episodes of nausea, I realized that the birth control pill that I've been taking for 10+ years had started making me really sick. For the record, I am not pregnant, and I have confirmed that with multiple pregnancy tests, and a doctor visit. Seriously, I need to buy stock in the company that makes EPT. Anyway, I stopped taking my pill 3 weeks ago. Since I stopped taking it, I have noticed that my HR has been trending REALLY high (like 10 bpm higher than usual) at what is my usual aerobic HR run paces and bike wattage. Anyone ever had this happen/have any thoughts? Assume that all other things (stress levels, sleep, eating habits, and training) are the same.
I could definitely be overthinking what's happening, but going off the pill is the only major change with my body that I can come up with. Normally, I would just let this roll off my shoulders, but I have a race coming up, and this is getting me a bit worked up....
Thanks!!!
JJ
