Why do I feel like my lungs are filled with chlorine or ammonia after I workout?

If the air is dry or cold, then when you inhale, the moisture gets taken from your lungs into the air (since hot air can hold more moisture - when the air heats in your lungs it needs moisture and takes it).  When you breathe a lot more, like when you exercise, the lungs dry out more than normal.  This drying of the lungs is normally felt as a painful burn, and it's why when people run in cold weather they normally try to breathe through their noses.  The passage through the sinuses is longer, and gives the air more time to heat up and absorb moisture on the way down to the lungs instead of in the lungs themselves.  Try to pay attention and always breathe in through your nose while exercising.  See if this helps.  If it does, and you work out at home, then you could try to get a humidifier.

It's because when you're still for too long your circulation(blood flow through body) slows way down and doesn't get all through your extremities (arms and legs) properly.  That's what makes you feel kinda tingly. That's your body's way of telling you it's had enough of the computer chair and would like to go to bed.  Or get up and do some aerobics!

Your legs are sore due to lactic acid build up.  Lactic acid is the byproduct given off when muscles work.  It happens all the time in the body, but the amount increases more (of course) when we exercise.  Oxygen removes lactic acid.  That's why our breathing increases when we exercise, or exert ourselves.  It tends to happen more often, and last longer in people who aren't used to exercising.  Building muscle and losing weight aren't the only benefits of exercise.  Your lungs, heart, and vasculature (veins and arteries) also become more efficient.  That's why you experience less fatigue and soreness as you keep exercising and your workout becomes easier.\n\n  Yes, you should take a day or two off from your exercise.  Give your system a chance to excrete that built up lactic acid.  One of the best, and most enjoyable ways to ease the soreness, is to take a long hot soak in a bath mixed with epsom salts.  It's really cheap and sold in any drug store or Wal-Mart.  You'll feel incredibly better the very next day.  Then get back to working out.  It'll get easier and a lot less painful.

you defintly have something going on with your metabolic workup. your HCO3 is very low giving you a compensated metabolic acidosis. Meaning that your paco2 is low compensating for your hco3 being low. co2 is acidic and the hco3 is a base normal values for pco2 is 35-45 and hco3 is 20-28. your body will try to compensate by increasing each of those numbers to get a normal ph in the body. with a hco3 like that you probably have been short of breath??? thats how your body gets the pco2 to decrease (hyperventilate) heavy breathing will give you a increased po2

A sudden intake of air in the lungs will cause them. You can hold your breath and count from 1 to 10 and that may stop them or breath in a paper bag.

I have never had that problem.  Go back and talk to your doctor about it.  In the meantime, push yourself a little harder during workouts to balance it all out.  Good luck.

I got that before too, a couple of times already. The moment i had it i thought i'm getting a heart attack but mine always go away after a day. I think i kinda pulled the muscles while sleeping. If your lung still hurts after a day or two i suggest u see a doctor. Take care!

Actaully, on some of my recent tests, I have the same exact thing you are describing and it is due to having chronic bronchitis.\nYou are not exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide efficiently with this disease and as a response the body makes extra red blood cells to get more oxygen to your tissues. If it is slightly elevated above normal it is nothing to worry about.\n\nDo you have any sort of lung disease? This could cause it if I am understanding your question.

I think you mean pneumonia...ammonia is a chemical, and a bad one at that!\n\nIt means his lungs are filling up with fluid, but not to the point or at a rate that is life threatening enough to render him ambulatory.  Meaning he can walk around while he recovers.  He'll be coughing up stuff for awhile, but eventually he'll recover...unless he stresses himself into full blown pneumonia.

ugh...I know how you feel. I had that problem for weeks.  Try some eucalyptus oil.  Boil a tablespoon of the oil in some water, pour into a bowl and inhale the fumes.  Put a towel over your head as you do this but be careful not to get burned!  But if you've had a cold for over 3 weeks and you are coughing stuff up, or continue to have a temperature, then go see your doc. Good luck and feel better soon!

Sounds like you have an infection. \nLumps of green weird stuff that you cough up (called "sputum", but the way) can usually come from quite a range of infections, but mainly they are due to bacteria or a virus.\nA cough that produces sputum, along with other signs of getting a cold, namely: headache, runny nose, sore throat etc etc are due to viruses. \nHowever, when you are infected by a virus, your body's defences are low and there may be another infection that occurs at the same time, for example, a bacteria infection. Which means, when you are sick, the things you feel and experience can be due to many different organisms (well, virus isn't quite an organism but we won't get into that). \nThat's why sometime when you get a cold, a doctor will give you antibiotics. These are drugs that will kill the bacteria in the infection. However, it will NOT affect the virus.\nYour body will take care of that.\n\nAfter all that jibberish, the take home message is: If you feel sick, got a sore throat and headache, get some rest and drink lots of water (if you go to the doctor he'll tell you to do that too but he'll charge you an arm and leg for it). \n\nBUT, if you feel S**T, and have a fever, bodyache (when you just feel crap all over your body...a bit hard to describe but you know it when you have it), and more miserable than your average cold, go see a doctor.\nGreen sputum on its own should not worry you if you haven't got the other symptoms. But if things change, consider how bad you feel (that is often the best judge of how well/unwell you are), and go see a doctor if you feel crap.

He thinks you have bronchitis which is an inflammatry disease of the smaler airways of the lungs. You are feeling the effects of Cushing's syndrome, a side effect of corticosteroids. Be sure to monitor your fluid intake and rinse out your mouth after using the inhaler.

could be something with your lungs, your pecs, or it could be heartburn, or your heart.  if you don't trust your doctor get a second opinion

It's probably not a gas that your smelling, but the scent of the liquid ammonia (NH4) that is in the air.

Maybe blood clots. Or something just as serious. Maybe just working out too much or over use? See your doc if it keeps up.

I've talked to a Dr about this because I once had problems after swimming.  The chlorine is not really an allergen but is an irritant instead.  It is harsh on the mucus membranes - your nose and eyes.  When swimming, protect your eyes with goggles, and always breath out through your nose and mouth when under water to prevent water from going in.  Also, some pools have way too much chlorine - especially pools that are very popular.  Another contributing factor to the headache could be heat or sun.  The combination of all three is very irritating.
