Sitting Cuts Off Blood Circulation

[Sri McDonald Trump Maharaj]

Shit! I can't sit for even 10 minutes no matter if it's in a chair or cross legged without my feet starting to turn purple and blue. I have no idea wtf this is but it seems scary. I can only do walking meditation and I just tried lying meditation... Has this happened for anyone else? If you happen to know anything PLEASE let me know! It's the difference to being happy or suicidal depressed for me really.

And yes I know it's okay if the nerves fall asleep if anyone wanted to say that but this isn't about THE NERVES it's about blood circulation.

@Sri McDonald Trump Maharaj I suffer from the symptoms you describe. Mine has to do with the nerve endings. It seems to get worse in the warmer weather too. I thought it was circulation at first but I went to a foot specialist and he said it was nerve endings. (Neuropathy) My knees get purple too.  Sometimes my feet are cold as ice and sometimes they feel like their burning. If I don't wear socks like in the summer time the swelling gets much worse. I'm not saying that is what you have but it could be.

maybe if that is the difference of your feelings that you should give meditation up for a little bit to deattach yourself from it.

Hope you are ok dude! go to the doctor to see whats going on

See a doc, man. There are a few cases in which it can really harm the body!

I called one today but there was no time for a meeting an probably won't be one in a week or so, I have really bad muscle pains right now and if they get worse I'll go to the fucking emergency again, hehe. Maybe it's a side effects of the antibiotics but who the hell knows! Thanks guys!

In general, limbs falling asleep for a bit and then waking them back up with the familiar pins and needles type feeling is fine and not dangerous. People pass out drunk in weird positions all the time. Meditating for a few hours is not an issue.

However - use your discretion and if you think it is actually causing damage, you should stop. If your feet are legit turning different colors, that's probably a sign .

This is most likely a more health related problem than a problem from just meditating and it's probably thrombosis, I'm going the the man in the white suit in about 3 hours to get myself checked out. I tried standing meditation and it got my knees turn blue in fucking 10 minutes so...

@Sri McDonald Trump Maharaj I hope you made out O.K. yesterday.

I did! The circulation did not cut off but I probably haven't ate enough food so thats why it's happened. The purple feet isn't dangerous and I've meditated like usual and my feet and legs actually feels better now. I have been walking now a little more and I'm comming back now!

@Sri McDonald Trump Maharaj Glad to hear it! It was well worth getting it checked out by the doc just to be sure.
