Default Sharing a Mistake

Last weekend, due to weather, I exercised at home and decided to try jumping jacks. This was a bad mistake. Although I've been exercising lately and feeling great, the jumping jacks resulted in some serious brain fog. I don't know how long it will take to recover.

I thought I'd share my mistake, I'm sure there are many others out there. I keep making mistakes and setting myself back. I wish there was a way to not make mistakes.

In July 2013 ran into a metal bar at a playground, remained conscious. CT normal. Headache subsided after a week. In August woke with thunderclap-type headache in right side of head, right eye was droopy. Ever since had electrical-type pulsating all over when falling asleep and during sleep. Strong muscle twitching occasionally. Chest pain in heart region, front left neck region, and left shoulder. Strong heartbeat noise in head and occasional weird noises in ears. Taking Gabapentin to control nighttime nerves. Other symptoms: anxiety attacks, goosebumps, fine motor coordination problems, sleep apnea, headaches/migraines, fatigue, unclear thinking.

Update as of Jan. 2015 - almost all symptoms gone except for some tinnitus. Taking good care of myself except sometimes when I overdo it.
