If you are on home oxygen, following advise from this forum can be dangerous. Please don't try any home remedies, without consulting your physician. \n\nA note to anyone suggesting home remedies for increasing lung capacity. You don't know this persons history, and bad advice can be lethal. Think before you write.

Inside of your tendons you have stretch receptors.  Let's say you start climbing stairs.  Your breathing and heart rate will increase even though they are still getting sufficient oxygen.  This is because of information coming from your stretch receptors.  It is like a pre-emptive strike against insufficient oxygen supply.

A few slow, deep breaths.  Get that oxygen moving in your brain.  Breathe normally & fully.  When we tense up, we tend to inhale quickly & lightly.  Also, try walking around a little bit to get the body less tense.  If you can get some privacy for a couple minutes, try stretching your legs & arms a little. Bending at the waist to touch your toes can let go of tension too.

Yes they do; the more you exercise, the more efficient your pulmonary and cardiovascular systems become, which leads to a greater VO2 Max, or greater lung capacity.

are you talking about huffing?? or a work related inhalation? I would say you question deserves clarity if you want a good answer.  The short and easy answer is that any time the amount of oxygen delivered to your body is depleted there will be damage.  The more severe the lack of oxygen the more severe the damage.  Your bodys cells, most specifically the ones in your brain require oxygen to run correctly and efficiently, when they do not get it they will become damaged and often times die.  Your body will do its best to route the oxygen that you do have to those areas that are most critical for function first.  If you are talking about huffing, dont' do it man, that headache you get about an hour or two after is telling you something... that you are hurting your brain.  If you are talking about a work hazaard then that headache at the end of the day is telling you something.  If it is work related then push your boss for some increased ventilation.  There are OSHA requirements for that.

Very scientific.  I am a MAD SCIENTIST!  Keep your mouth shut when you are breathing....use yer nostrilz.  If you get too much air in your lungz, your body wants to force it eventually.  Practice deep breathing through your nostrils - it will relax you also.

BREATHING EXCERSISE WILL HELP MUCH.

If you are gasping for breath when you work out you are over doing it and you are not training correctly to the best of your ability you should be exercising at a rate that is comfortable and one that you feel you could hold a conversation whilst doing.  You need to be using the aerobic system this is where you use the oxygen you breathe in to transport oxygen around the body to the muscles being used the system that you are most probably using is the anaerobic system this is where the oxygen that you are taking in is only going to the organs so the muscles have to use reserves of the glucose that is stored in your liver this means your ability to burn fat is not as good and your muscles will get a build up of lactic acid which will make you sore If you feel "the burn" as they say then this is wrong. It is better to stay at a steady pace for longer that it is to increase too fast. Anyway the best technique to breathe is in through your nose and out through your mouth.

you should try aerobic exercise...\nAerobic Exercise\nAerobic exercise provides cardiovascular conditioning. It strengthens the heart and lungs, and improves the body's ability to use oxygen. Over time, aerobic exercise can help decrease your heart rate and blood pressure, and improve your breathing (since your heart won't have to work as hard during exercise).\n\n\nExamples are:-\nJogging \nRowing \nSkating \nCycling (stationary or outdoor cycling) \nSwimming \nWalking \nCross-country skiing \nAerobic dancing

Warm, strange, exciting!\n\nApart from not knowing when to breathe, it's a bit like learning to drive. A whole new level of fun, but your coordination is dreadful and response time all over the place.

body needs more oxygen(in blood) to provide energy for the excercise, excitement etc.

your lungs relax, then expand, making it easier to breath.   happens to me at work. I'm a roofer and i have asthma, I'm also afraid of heights[ yeah i don't get it either].anyway when i first go up the ladder in the morning especially on a cold day i get tense, i hyperventilate and breathing is a problem . after a little while i calm down , relax and everything is everything.....

Try to compress your lungs.  All that air takes up much needed space.

First thing...  People have the tendency to hold their breath when they run. So remember to consciously make yourself breathe in and  breathe out.... \nSecond run/walk/jog at a comfortable pace for a couple minutes then push yourself to increase the pace as fast as you can for 30-45 seconds. Then relax and run/walk/jog at a comfortable pace again. \nContinue this and as you get stronger increase the high-speed intervals to 1-2 minutes-even more. \nInterval training is the best way to increase endurance and is most effective form of cardiovascular exercise.\n\nGood luck\nHope this helps!

That says that you had a good workout.  You may expand your lung capacity by taking long deep breaths and hold as you perform light exercises....
