Ninjutsu with a heart condition By Shinobi Teikiatsu - 07-01-2008 11:51 PM

=========

Hi, I've been practicing ninjutsu for two years and I've been getting quite proficient at it, but I have a problem that I only recently revealed to my sensei.

I have a heart condition, or a lung condition (can't tell exactly) that can best be described as arrythmia.

I went to the cardiologist and they said that my heart is perfectly healthy, not a murmer or affliction in sight.

I told my sempai about this on Monday during training, as it was so bad that I was forced to sit out, and he said that it might not be arrythmia, but a condition with my lungs.

So, my question to you guys is this: How do I continue training with this condition, and is there a way that I can solve it?

A few years ago I studied krav maga and even the slightest exertion made me short of breath.I went to doctor and found I had a collapsed lung,and therefore had to cease training for months.This condition improved but I now suffer from tachycardia and high blood pressure but am on medication for both.Eventually I am supposed to have this catheter thing implanted in my heart,but dr. says it is okay for me to keep training and in fact I am supposed to do cardiovascular training.I still lift weights 3x a week and so far no problem.But as thye man said you should definintrely check with doctor before doing anything too strenuous.
