That actually makes sense. I just flashed back to an old memory. I could never tolerate running even as an athletic kid. When I was a young adult I tried doing intense exercise like the stair stepper at the gym and playing racquetball but within 5 minutes of either I would start seeing silver stars flying everywhere just like getting bonked on the head in a cartoon. It was a bit concerning and I stopped those activities. I asked my doctor about it and he actually burst out laughing, yep. I guess it was funny that someone young and in seemingly good condition couldn’t tolerate those activities. He said it was from a sudden rise in blood pressure pushing on the back of my eyes just like when you rub your eyes too hard while drying off with a towel and see colors.
So @bobbylove88 maybe check your blood pressure next time it happens. Do you think that could be it for you?
