I can't breathe right. Could I be dehydrated? It's making me feel really uncomfortable.

You could... Have you taken anything new or done anything you haven't done before or eaten anything you haven't before (especially in the last 48 hours, but it could go back as far as 4 days) Take care

Do you have athsma or allergies?
Where are you right now? What is the air outside like? Are you in an airconditioned building/room?

very hot humid air is terrible for people with asthma... go get an inhaler... also check out some weather sites... you could have an air pollution action day in your area

Well I would hazard a guess that your asthma and/or allergies have something to do with the breathing trouble
Both conditions suck

Oh, you guys, I had no idea this was this kind of site... lol, I thought you guys were sort of like horticulturalists...
anyway, two things, one is that coffee has about the same effect on the tiny little things in our lungs as an inhaler. Coffee works like a dialator on our lungs. Try it.
The other thing is that drugs use up B12. I had a lot of people crash at my house years ago; when I came back from England after living there for 9 years, some of the people here who had done drugs non-stop looked about 30 years older than me. That's not an exaggeration.
Okay, so the thing is, if you have lines/ridges on your fingernails and no moons, get methylcobalamin. the lozenges.
I'm not wanting you to buy it from my site, I just want you to know that taking it does just amazing things for nerves... good things.

Do you guys still use swamp coolers over there?
They were common when I lived in the States years back and were known to cause breathing problems.

HOW are you breathing? When you inhale, what happens in your shoulders, ribcage, belly? It is very possible you are not breathing efficiently. The easiest and most effective way to breathe begins in the belly. When you inhale, your belly should actually expand because the diaghpram is descending which exerts pressure on your abdominal wall. This creates a vacuum in your chest cavity that draws in air effortlessly. Try it, extend your belly to begin inhalation then let the air flow in through your nostrils as your lungs expand. Continue to draw in air this way and your lower ribcage and chest will begin to expand as your lungs fill up. Towards the end of your inhalation your chest will lift up as well as the upper ribs and your intercostal muscles ( the ones between the ribs) will expand noticably as you draw in the last of the breath.
Exhalation is controlled primarily by the diagphram. The chest will remain in about the same position during the first part of the exhalation and as your diagphram begins to push up into your chest cavity you chest and ribs will relax again. Exhalation is equally if not more important than inhalation. Remember to breathe in and out through your nose unless physical exertion requires you to exchange more air more quickly. Most Westerners breathe by raising their collarbones or by manipulating their chest and rib muscles. This is an innefective way to breathe and it requires far more energy. We adopt these lousy ways of breathing through stress and the strange demands placed on our bodies by our modern lifestyles. Breathing from the belly is where it's at. It is easy to loose track of how you are breathing. Just recently I was having trouble with my breathing too, it seemed like to much effort for too little return, then I re-remembered to belly breathe. Google proper breathing, belly breathing. Sometimes this is called yogi or yogic breathing but it is really just natural.
