Often, the normal conversion of oxygen and food is disturbed and patients do not get an adequate supply. This symptom is known as Exercise Intolerance. This medical condition is a usual symptom among those who suffer from metabolic disorders, heart disease and mitochondrial disease.
Knowing the signs of Exercise Intolerance is essential so that you can seek medical guidance.
# Fatigue- Vigorous exercise makes muscles and organs reach exhaustion. This often leads to dizziness and shortness of breath. This gives a signal that oxygen is not processed effectively. If the person has exercise intolerance, exhaustion is seen after a few minutes of physical activity. In the worst case, fatigue can also be induced while writing or eating.
# Muscle cramps- This is often noticed among the athletes. The only difference lies in the duration of the cramps and the exertion required to produce the cramps. Often, people assume muscle cramps as adequate stretching which will stay for a few minutes. They often experience stiffness and pain, and this may last for many days.
# Poor heart rate- In some patients, chronotropic incompetence is considered a symptom of exercise intolerance. This condition occurs when there is no significant rise in the level of heart rate which is required to meet certain activity.
# Change in blood-pressure- People with exercise intolerance show marked changes in their blood pressure. This change is affected by simple activities like walking or standing up. Even six minutes of exercise shows a jump in blood pressure in the people who have exercise intolerance.
# Cyanosis- Discoloration of face and extremities gives a bluish appearance, which indicates inadequate supply of oxygenated blood. This is a prominent symptom of exercise intolerance, and the sufferer should seek immediate medical guidance for disrupted blood-flow.
