Started lifting again after a 3-4 month break. I noticed today that from beginning to end I was feeling moderately winded. Like I was breathing fine but felt like I wasn t getting enough oxygen or something. Didn t feel dizzy but I did feel a bit cloudy. This happened last time I lifted but managed to become more sporadic the more i worked out, where I would have great days and bad days. Did some research on pulmonary hypertentison, not sure if that s the culprit. I just turned 23, I weigh 125lbs, I ve always been mostly active, eat plenty of fruits and veggies. Was diagnosed with allergy induced asthma last year, but during these breathing episodes I m not wheezing at all. Just increased heart rate and the feeling that I m breathing fine just not getting the oxygen. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you are having allergies, possibility of early bronchitis is high in your case. Untreated allergies can cause airflow limitation. And this is the main cause for bronchitis and feeling of not taking enough oxygen. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is must for the diagnosis of early bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
