Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 When most of you are complaining of heat intolerance, I'm wondering if that includes the feeling of reacting immediately to hot air and experiencing the feeling of not being able to breathe that air. (Not a great situation for me, as I live in the desert) Also, lying flat and breathing is a problem. My doc suggested that the lungs have to work harder in that position - but I haven't noticed anyone else mentioning this. Is it pretty common? I almost didn't get thru the MRI because you have to lie horizontal. I started hypoventillating because I wasn't getting enough air. It was obvious that the tech hadn't seen that happen before and she had to get very creative to figure out a way to " angle me " and still have me clear the opening of the MRI.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Maggie Sudden hot air makes me feel like can't get enough air, but it is different than the air hunger that I get from stress such as walking. Anyone with a heart or lung problem can have the problem with laying flat. I have docs and techs always asking me if I need my head elevated. I don't have this problem at this time, but it is something that many people (not mito included) that have this problem. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Wed, 05 May 2004 16:12:14 -0000 > To: > Subject: heat and breathing > > When most of you are complaining of heat intolerance, I'm wondering > if that includes the feeling of reacting immediately to hot air and > experiencing the feeling of not being able to breathe that air. > (Not a great situation for me, as I live in the desert) > > Also, lying flat and breathing is a problem.
