Suggest Treatment For Tightness Sensation In The Chest
hi, first I am a 35 year old female, I am very active and in very good shape. I have been running 3-6 miles daily for almost two years and doing other exercises as well. The past 2 weeks I have had some issues when running/jogging. At first I thought it was because I spent all winter running indoors on a treadmill and in the past two weeks moved outside to run. But, when I run I get a tight feeling in my chest and have trouble breathing, not real bad, but bad enough that I have to walk to get it under control then I can continue to run again. This starts about 10 minutes into my workout and then when I walk it takes about 3 minutes to get back where I can continue to run and this just keeps going in a cycle. Yesterday since it was too cold to run outside I ran on the treadmill inside and it happened there too, so my previous theory of moving outside I don t think is correct. I am not overweight 5 2 118 lbs and as stated before in very good shape. I just need to get an idea of what is going on. Thank you!
it looks like exercise induced airway hyper reactivity or airway hyper reactivity due to exposure of cold air... just avoid these things for few days you will be fine.... if still continues you have to go with spirometry... it's a lung function test..... which gives some clues about your asthma status..
