Why do I feel unstable the day after training?

[JohnDoe999]

Hi

Approaching midlife I have started with cardiovascular training again; a combination of running and cycling. I was quite good at running some 20 years ago, and from my late 20s until now I have primarily worked out with weights.

I have always been a "late" trainer, and this has suited me well before. In my 20s I could complete a hard workout at 2300 hours, and feel perfect the day after.

Now I am experiencing some problems. This has happened 4-5 times now, so it seems like there is consistency.

I normally go to sleep at 2200 hours, and get up at 0515. I now run, or cycle, from 2000 hours.

I have tried to not start to hard, so my intensity is only maybe 60-70 percent of my max. The workouts only lasts from 20 minutes to 1 hour.

I do now, after these workouts, experience a more disturbed sleep. I dream a lot more than normal, and I kind of wake up several times for a couple of seconds, and feel that I do not "sleep as good" as normal.

I do not feel any more exhausted in the mornings than normal, but I often get brainfog the following day, and my general work capacity is reduced.

It is difficult for me, with kids and obligations, to be able to train before 2000 hours. What should I do? Should I try to reduce my workout sessions in regards to intensity or length? I am already, as mentioned, "taking it easy", but maybe I should take it even more easy? Is this my body just getting old?

PS! I am "normally" slim (a bit to high BMI, but that is because of muscle mass), and otherwise healthy.

It's been seven weeks that I suffer from a permanent instability sensation, 24h / 24: printing pitching like I drank alcohol ...

It suddenly appeared, but without rotary vertigo or any pain ...

I have suffered from these symptoms in 2003 (for 3-4 months) and 2005 (for 1 month). At the time blood tests, ENT examinations and cerebral scanner avaientt given any track ... and as I do not suffer from signs "objectives" (I do not fall, I do not stagger), doctors put it each time on the account of stress or psycho ...

But I would love to see in my place! Because this state is really painful and even debilitating in everyday life: one is forced to slow down in all of the daily activities ...

I said that this imbalance is chronic (from the alarm), but I do not suffer at any time "real" rotatory vertigo (I have no nystagmus either). I feel especially pitching when I walk and I move my head ... but bike or car I do not feel this imbalance!

I will like to know the origin of these symptoms to get rid of it (if possible) for good ... from the evidence that I have read here and there, my symptoms strongly resemble the "otholithique syndrome "He is a lazy crystals in the inner ear ... of course I would have to consult an ENT specialist in balance disorder to confirm it ..
