Hi im 22 years old, 5'7, approximatly 140 pounds with unknown body fat percentage and get 8 hours of sleep on average. I just recently started trying to develop a more healthy lifestyle in terms of eating more veggies and organic foods, as well as trying to remove coffee out of my diet and replacing it with organic green tea and other beverages.
Today i decided i would attempt at going for a jog for the first time in close to 7 months, prior to that i only had jogged maybe 4 or 5 times inside of a couple years(bad i know but i try lol). After about 10 minutes of light jogging i began to feel a sore throbbing feeling in my head, more centralised and towards the back of the neck. Ive found in the past that mostly with cardio i tend to feel soreness similar to this, not always but the majority of the time.
My question is, is this normal for someone who's not necessarily obese, more just out of shape? Is it something that is likely to happen because my body is not used to the different level of blood flow perhaps? My lungs hurt as well but im assuming thats simple because i would occasionally smoke a cigarette or two a day in the past and due to my lack of exercise in terms of cardio. Its not as if this pain in my head is so bad that i cant function but its bad enough that it makes me want to constantly take breaks and once i get home i feel like i need to lay down for a while and nap. After about 40 minutes or so now i no longer feel any type of head discomfort at all. Im hoping this is something i can work out of me as i understand the concept of 'no pain, no gain' but dont want to ignore something significant.
My goal here, beyond a healthier lifestyle, is to have alot more energy throughout the day and reduce how quickly i fatigue. I work 40 - 55 hours a week normally and its difficult becoming physically and especially mentally exhausted after only 3 or 4 hours of work. Plus im 22, I wanna have fun and dont want to be limit by soreness and fatigue by 3pm. We only live once.
Any knowledgable advice is appreciated.
And please dont just say 'go see a doctor' because thats like looking for a needle in a haystack, if its extremely abnormal then yes i will consider it strongly. Thanks for your time!
