Exercising on Lupron

Hello Ladies!

 I just recieved a three months shot of Lupron 4 weeks ago.  So far, I have experienced night sweats and excessive hunger.  To combat some of the weight gain, I decided to join a gym and enlist the help of a trainer.

When I visted the trainer, I could only get through 10 minutes of the assessment.  I had rapid heart palpitations and my body could not cool off.  I thought if was about to faint and my heart felt like it was about to explode.  I consider myself to be an athletic person, so this was a shock to me.

Has anyone else experienced this while on Lupron and engaging in exercise?  Were you able to continue aerobic activity while taking this medication?  Any insight would be great.

Tthanks!

Yep, this is allllll me.  

 Can I ask why you're on the Lupron?  I'm currently doing mine for endo treatment (and I've done it before).  My doctor prescribed something else to help counteract my side effects this time and it is so so amazing.  It hasn't helped with the heart rate, but the new med plus a Melatonin supplement to help me sleep have been awesome for counteracting the sweats, hot flashes and constant appetite.

I try to stick to lower impact aerobics- yoga (normal and bikram hot), pilates, and ellipticals with the heart rate monitors so I can track where I am.  My doctor said anything over 160 is dangerous for me (I'm 5'5" and about 145lbs).
