Ive been exercising and jogging for 13 years. After a shoulder surgery on October I took some time off this winter and am trying to get back in shape with jogging. Only my wind pipe hurts only after about a tenth of a mile and I have to walk a tenth and then back to jogging a tenth back & forthe etc. Last year I was running 10 miles a week. Now I cant run any more than about .2 miles because it feels like my wind pipe is sucking in -30 degrees air. What is wrong. I also have been diagnosed with mild stenosos of the aortic valve but I dont think it is that.
Hi and thank you for asking in Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. I don't think that this situation is connected to the stenosis of the aortic valve. Maybe you breathe with your mouth open during running? If yes the air entering the airways is not humidifier and warming and as e result the mucosa is Chat Doctor. If you can try to change the way of breathing, and you will feel better. Thank you
