Hey all, i have a few questions with packing...
Well first of all, this started happening mostly after a big break for a few months in any training until about a week ago. When i pack now i start getting really really dizzy and lightheaded before i reach my maximum pack, and this didnt used to happen before. I was thinking this could be a result of my very low blood pressure, but this never happened before and ive always had low blood pressure. Sometimes i can blackout if i dont force blood into my head by tensing up my chest (good thing im doing this dry!). Another question i have is that also sometimes when i blow out the air from a maximum pack i suddenly get a strong pounding headache in the back of my head for a few seconds, like maybe 5 or 6. I have no idea what this is and find it somewhat disturbing.
PS. the doctor recommended lots of salt to try to raise my blood pressure a little, is this in any way bad for freediving performance wise?
thanks for your help![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
