Breathing problems come in many forms and from innumerable sources. They are among the scariest things to experience. Just being at a lack of breath from running is uncomfortable and how about having the wind knocked out of you? We all remember that disgusting feeling.

I take a karate class here in Los Angeles and recently I have been experiencing breathing problems. Often, at some point during the class I get faint and out of breathe. I assumed I was out of shape and would take a break by standing off to the side for a minute.

My Experience With Breathing Problems
Well, one day I was at my chiropractors getting an x-ray of my back and he noticed something funny looking about my lungs. He asked me if I experience breathing problems and sent the x-ray to be analyzed. It was reported back to him to suggest I see somebody about my lungs. I still havent followed up on it because of finances and, to be honest, Im scared of what they might tell me. I already suffer from allergies, the last thing I want to hear is more bad news about my lings.

I was claustrophobic as a child. I would get scared thinking my breathing was going to stop. For some reason it has always been a fear of mine. Now, that fear is materializing and it concerns me, but not like it did when I was a child. Its a great thing to have our worst fears materialize and to realize it was the fear itself, not what you were afraid of, that was the issue. Growing up comes with a lot of things. Knowledge and freedom are two of the best. The knowledge of how powerful air filtration can be in improving your health is one of the handier lessons Ive learned concerning dealing with my breathing problems from allergies.
