Hi, I swim 4 times per week and swim pretty hard.
On Monday after my swim I experienced some Asthma symptoms for 2 days, and its continuing a bit today.
I am wondering if it is because of the chlorine inhalation. The pool I swim in isn't in a big complex and is in a fairly tight indoor room.
I talked to one of the lifeguards today and she told me that that the chlorine level is at 1 1/2, while the PH level is at 7.4 regularly.
Does anyone have any experience with Asthma-like symptoms because of swimming?
Thanks,
Marc
Of course, not everyone has this reaction, but it is not uncommon. The physiology is well understood. It is not psychological, nor am I asthmatic. I have no problem with improper breathing and can easily swim nonstop for 6+ miles. You are really grasping at straws here, trying to find various arguments against a perfectly reasonable sharing of experience that was requested here.
Whether it's common for people to attack themselves, you have exercise induced asthma, even when you're not exercising, yet don't have asthma. If that happened to me, I'd tell myself to relax and calm down. Plus I already told you I'm not interested in your off topic personal issues, but you keep responding about them. Perhaps you find my ideas more helpful than you're willing to admit.
