raised heart rate and blocked ears

yomchi

Strange one I know, but it happens alot to me. After a serious training session which would include heavy sparring sessions and a heart rate of about 185 my ears block, like the sensation you feel when coming down in an aeroplane. They clear after a while, but it's very annoying. I can't hear my self talk as well as the other annoying factors to having your ears blocked.

This morning, I tried this new Berocca boost, for the craic. It raises the heart rate, as i've just found out. I didn't train, but just measured it there and it's up and low and behold my ears are blocked.

Has anyone the foggiest why?

High blood pressure maybe. Might be worth talking to a doc. Happens to me too sometimes.

Once every few months I get sleep paralysis whereby you wake up but cannot move. Usually there is a loud noise in your ears (blood rushing around?) and heart thumping faster than normal. Not sure if it is what you have though. Never happens to me whilst training.

Had one recently, we get regular medicals with the kickboxing. Everything was hunky dory. Can't fiond any references on the net either. Maybe it's just one of them things?

No not at all, it's just like someone has their fingers in your ears and you can hear only muffled noises.

Just a thought, but are people boxing the ears off you?

I've been doing ITF tae kwon do (the full contact tkd) for nigh on 9 years now and it's never happened to me However i did collapse one day after a spar and the doctor told me not to do anything for a month.. It would be beneficial to go see your local GP.

Thats happened to me too!! Normally if I've done a hard work out and happens towards the end when I'm on the treadmill. I was thinking it was sweat getting in my ears or something.

yomchi

Phew, at least I'm not alone.

Not too bad, have an SL joint injury so haven't been training since Italy, and using the time to put on 6 or 7 kg.

The pictures of him on the ground dazed are as good if not better than a medal!

What have you been up to since the euros?

Can I join too? Although it never happens me when I'm running or anything like that- only after a good workout in the bedroom:o- seriously!

fatmammycat

Happens to me too on runs longer that 15k. Usually wears off after half an hour or so.

A clan of space aliens descended on earth, set up camp in your ears and can't stand the pressure that exercise causes on your body?? But they've been feeding off your insides since the initial landing, and now they're too big to fit back out again? Hence the blocked feeling....??

Something like that?

Climate Expert

I get it when I'm working out hard and its usually from heavy breathing. I'm just assuming its some internal pressure thing.
