What Causes Burning Sensation In The Lungs At The Age Of 62?

got a burning sensation in my lung area after sitting in a classroom on campus. left room and walked back to office and sensation started to go away. I m 62 yrs. old and have not had any problems with EKGs or anything else. The fact that it started after being in the room for awhile and that after leaving the room and walking to my office seems that it may have been something in the room that caused the reaction.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion you are mostly having allergic bronchitis.
The atmosphere in the room (dust, smell) must be allergic for you, so on exposure you are getting allergic reaction in the form of bronchitis.
This bronchitis is the reason for your burning sensation in chest.
So to prevent this you need to wear face mask before entering in the room and keep it until you leave the room.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
