I am a avid bowler. I bowl on average 10-15 games a day. Lately I have been trying out a new way of throwing the ball where I basically throw it as hard as I can. Now you figure 12 games times 10 frames per game is 144 throws assuming I get strikes every single time. Which I obviously don't. So around roughly 200 throws per day with a 15 pound ball, as hard as I can. I'm decently in shape. Def not a model athlete but I'm not a thousand pounds either. Well, I tried this new method for the past 4 days or so. Everything was fine while I was at the alley today. However, when I left I started getting extremely gassy and every single muscle in my body was just so fatigued I could hardly lift it. Ever since then I have had a horrible acid taste in my mouth and cramps every where. Obviously I know its just from working out super hard the past 4 days and my muscles just want a break. However, the tighter they get the more I wanna pace and freak out that I have some major issue. My favorite on is heart disease. I know, its dumb. 100+ bowling games a week would have killed me. I understand... I really do. I just can't put it together. Help please.

That’s what I was going to suggest too- sounds like you could have a cold or flu that’s just wearing you down right now?

I slept for like 18 hours. Went to bed around 11 and got up around 6pm. I have the tension headache from hell. It feels like I have a headband on way too tight and I can’t shake it. My wife spent the past hour rubbing my shoulders and I was almost in tears in hurt so much. The weird thing is I really have no cold symptoms. No fever. No runny nose. No cough. Just extreme fatigue and VERY tight muscles in my entire body.

Sounds totally normal. I'm a stay at home mom and walk up my stairs alot and sometimes my whole body just aches. Give yourself an epsom salt bath. It helps with muscle aches. Based on reading your post nothing seems abnormal at all. Some days our bodies are on point and some days we seem a mess. Your good friend. That bath with epsom salt and 2-3 days and you'll be good

sometimes the body just goes through an inflammation flare-up brought on by exercise or a cold or stress....and anxiety aggravates it tons.....a hot shower or a heating pad for a bit helps to relax you .....right now I am going through a flare up with my osteoarthritis ....feeling awful .......and I work constantly on NOT allowing my anxiety run away with me....hang in there!

All I've really wanted to do for the past 2 days is sleep. I get up for like 2 hours and then I go right back to bed. Over the past 48 hours I've probably slept 40 of them. All of my muscles as super tense and then when I do something to loosen them up like take a hot bath or get a massage from my wife is just makes me so incredibly tired that I just can't fight it at all. I've been falling asleep sitting up. I went upstairs not too long ago to get something out of my bedroom and ended up sitting on my bed and falling asleep for 2 hours.
