A 71-year-old man is suffering from a strange condition that has kept him walking virtually day and night for more than one year, reports Guizhou Metropolis News.

Long Yongming of Huishui County in Southwest China's Guizhou Province sought medical attention one and a half years ago about some gastric distress. But doctors at the county's hospital could not pinpoint the cause of Long's illness.

Eventually, the man discovered that if he kept walking, he felt better. Unfortunately, when he stops, he feels ill and is subject to fainting spells.
