Every time I move, my body feels overheated!

So, Since starting my whole lifestyle change with regular excercise and eating healthy, there are times where I just don't feel right. ( or maybe its normal, but I have never experienced it before). Now, Whenever I get up and start walking or do something light, my legs start to burn like I am working out, and my heart rate starts to go up noticably. I have a front desk job where I am mostly sitting all day ( blah ) so, I can see why my heart rate would elevate, however this change has been recent, last couple of weeks where I really feel it pounding. I'm not sure if this is my body reacting to my new fitness regimens and now whenever I get moving it thinks its time to work out? I get really warm too. It's just a weird change and I'm not sure if its something to be concerned about, or normal.. any input would be appreciated :)

    It's probably nothing, but go to the doctor and get your thyroid tested.

    Sheesh you think it could have anything to do with that?!

    Could be, it's a fairly common problem in women. Nothing to worry about, but it could be a pain in the *kitten* if you don't get it regulated. Also, print out you eating and exercise sheet from this site and give it to your doctor. She/he may be able to see if you're missing something essential.

    I don't know how long you've been at this but after I had been working out about 3 months and right after starting MFP, I would have what you describe occasionally. It almost felt like a hot flash but not quite. I haven't had it in the last few weeks, though. It eventually went away. I figured it was my body trying to adjust to my increased working out/eating better. Like my metabolism was shifting into a higher gear. Maybe that was wishful thinking, though. :laugh:

    It's almost certainly nothing to be worried about, but you won't have to worry about it at all if you see your doctor and make sure.

    See that's what I thought.. But sometimes it makes me nervous, Like I don't know if its normal lol.. but a " hot flash" seems to kind of describe it perfectly.. I have never experienced hot flashes but, I would imagine this feeling is pretty close to it.

    If you are not used to working out, then this wouldn't be surprising. I doubt its your thyroid. Usually people with high thyroid get palpitations at rest. However, if its really concerning make an appointment with your Doctor or Nurse practitioner.
