I'm old (56) but in excellent health; 12-13% body fat, low cholesterol, low triglyceride level, blood pressure (128/70), and resting pulse of 50 bpm. I see my doctor tomorrow, Tuesday.
I'm not going to suggest a cause/effect, diagnosis or fit change, but I would encourage you to discard the notion that "I'm old". 56 is prime time.
