Thread: difficulty breathing after exercise

Hi!

I'm new to the forums & hoping I can find some advice here.

I work out pretty regularly-usually cardio/strength training workouts (thru dvd's or cardio on the treadmill then a dvd for the strength training, also I'm not overweight). I've been experiencing a weird problem off & on the last few weeks. It possibly seems to be related to exercising... I can't breath easily afterwards, seem to be struggling to get a good deep breath. It seems to go on for awhile & has made it difficult to sleep. I thought before when it started it was allergy related & it did seem to go away after taking OTC allergy med (antihistamine), but that doesn't seem to be helping this time.

Hoping maybe someone else has had this experience... thinking maybe I need to go to the dr.

Thanks so much!

I agree with Jennie, I'd see a doctor. There is such a thing as allergy induced asthma!

I think you could be winded from working out. If that was the case, I'd say go a little slower. But, it seems weird that it last so long after a workout or into the night. That would make me say, talk to a doctor!
