Struggling to take deep breaths

[aminofreak]

Have had this issue for over 8 years. Been to the ER twice over it with no diagnosis.

It just feels like I can never get a deep satisfying breath of air.

Obviously I'm on gear. Cholesterol is way out of range but BP is great 121/70.

Currently on a very modest blast. 500 test, 500 npp, 200mg Masteron E

Assume they’ve thoroughly scanned and examined heart and lungs?

Drop the gear and see what happens is going to be the obvious answer I suspect.

Just curious.

Yes, and full blood panels. Everything good except for hdl/ldl balance.

Slightly high hemoglobin and hematocrit.

I eat like shit. And don't do cardio. Basically always running a permanent dirty bulk with a 6 week cruise 2-3 times a year.

Well, I'm no scientist, but that sounds like the problem to me.

Solution: clean up your diet and do some cardio. You'll live longer.

Can you take a deep breath and not feel it or is it in possible to actually breath deeply? Back when I was at my heaviest and on high tren I would always feel like there was no oxygen coming into my body or brain, after loosing weight and been off gear every thing got much better, I hope you figure it out

Shit man just add in 100mcg clen a day to help bronchodilation.

No reason to fix the plethora of other things

I do everything I can to ruin my health and then wonder why I have bad health

Strong logic

ephedra totally alleviated this for me (ephedrine hcl) add an expectorant like guafinisen or a natural one like irish sea moss and its good lung health bro

irish sea moss, burdock, bladderwack cheap effective blends on amazon

i run lung protocols because ihave smoked MMJ and cigaretttes on and off since i was 10. Marijuana basically nonstop since then im 36 in a few weeks

also, SAUNA and STEAM especiallly steam.

How are your mucus levels would you say >

 

[m87r]

Might not help but try deep tissue massage for your upperback.

Clean your diet up. Could be acid reflux/esophagus related. Especially if you lay flat after a meal.

I’m going to try some of this. The amount of mucus my body makes is crazy.

Could be asthma, maybe mild (I have a similar issue). Have you seen a pulmonologist? Had a pulmonary function test done?

 

[bbxtreme]

Have your cardiologist order and run a CPET test.

 

[BigNJ]

Get a CT Scan, perhaps that could help?
Could it be a rib slightly pushing onto your lungs?

Air hunger related to disordered breathing patterns, hyperventilation with hypercapnia. It’s a shitty disorder I’ve battled since I was young.

Comes and goes. Completely related to stress. I had a bad exacerbation after wearing a compression shirt that took 8 months to recover.

Find out what’s causing your disordered breathing. Are you overweight? Do you hold in your stomach subconsciously like myself because you don’t want it to be seen protruding out even though you have a 6 pack. Are you bloated or eating to much and your stomach is pressing on your lungs?

Likely, something is causing your breathing to be irregular. You have to go through a long self physical therapy process to retrain your body to breath properly. Anti anxiety meds, can be of great use to help in this process. It’s not a quick fix, will take time and honestly I never fully recover until I forget about it.

How I describe it, I can take the biggest breath in, but the breath doesn’t satisfy me. I have to force myself to yawn to be satisfied.

If that’s you, google what I said. It sucks. It makes your nervous and awkward in conversations, heart rate goes up, etc

Ive had this in the past for basically two reasons. High blood pressure and water retention. I know what youre going through though, its a pretty crappy feeling.

You might have undersized lungs or they just aren’t healthy and you need to do more cardio. But it sounds like it could be something serious. If you care about your health I’d cut out the gear for a few months and see if improves. Either way if you can’t breathe you can die. Simple as that bro. Take care of yourself and go easy
