Purple Skin?

janak2004

Okay MFP family, I need some help. I was doing my C210k workout today and I was feeling fine. The last 5 minutes or so I got extremely hot and my skin turned PURPLE! I have NEVER felt this way before. I didn't feel like I was fatigued. I was breathing just fine. I'm not sure what was going on. Does anyone have any ideas? It kind of freaked me out a little bit. I think it freaked the guy working out next to me too because he was like, "Uh...did you know your arms are turning purple?"

Any input or ideas you guys have would be great. I'm currently sitting in the air conditioning drinking lots of water because my skin is still VERY hot.

Thanks,
Jana

I would say consult your doctor. It doesn't seem right to turn purple plus be hot for so long after.

Any chance you are dehydrated and this is a type of heatstroke?

You should talk to your doctor asap. People with peripheral artery disease can turn purple. I'm not diagnosing you by any means, but it doesn't sound normal.

No, it's not heat stroke and I've been drinking plenty. I mean, I have already completed C25K and I didn't run any harder or further than I had when training for that. Seems to me that this is just a freak thing. I was just wondering if anyone else had anything similar happen.

Definitely worth at least a call to the dr.

Talk to a doctor.

Did you check your heart rate to see where you were at?
