Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yea I'm with you on this. If it's adrenaline what do I do? Salvia test showed weak adrenals, but not bad enough for HC. Currently taking 5 isocort. It really gets bad a week before my period! I can't take it! What to do? Thanks, S To: RT3_T3 Sent: Mon, June 21, 2010 1:24:09 PMSubject: Re: What is air hunger?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 My pulse is generally in the 60's to 70's, and I have air hunger. Or shortness of breath...or whatever...it's very uncomfortable and makes life tough sometimes. When I use an oximeter, my blood ox levels are always 97 - 99, so maybe mind is more adrenal related, as well? What do you do for that?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Dr. Lowe has this to say about air hunger....not sure if he's on or off, but sort of makes sense to me! In The Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia,[1] I explain various mechanisms of these patients’ air hunger, all of which result from too little thyroid hormone regulation. One mechanism is weakness of their respiratory muscles, including the diaphragm.[22-23] Researchers call this weakness of respiratory muscles "hypothyroid myopathy." Another mechanism is impairment of the phrenic nerves that regulate contractions of the diaphragm. When impaired, these nerves send too few signals to the diaphragm for it to contract normally.[23] A third mechanism is decreased "central drive of respiration."[34] This means that the brain centers that regulate breathing are impaired by too little thyroid hormone regulation. I've been reading about this for a long time and never have asked what air hunger is? Can someone explain what happens please?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I've had three distinct types of air hunger, causes were generally overlapping thyroid/adrenal issues. The type where it feels like I'm trying to breathe in molasses instead of air, another where it feels like my chest is too full already and can't hold more air (this was specifically high cortisol), and a third where it feels like I've just run up three flights of stairs and can't catch my breath. They ALL improved and/or are improving with resolution of thyroid and cortisol issues. > > I've been reading about this for a long time and never have asked what > air hunger is?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Margery, the one I have is the molasses one. Like I can't get to the bottom of my lungs, and need to. How long did it take you to get over that one???? Am hoping when I get stuff straight it will go away. I've had it three months, with a few days in between where it wasn't too bad......wonder why???

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I'm wondering if this is a symptom that can have various causes. I experience this as well and it is a form of asthma. The allergist explained that in the form of asthma I have, the small vessels constrict rather than the large air vessels. So it is a " quiet " asthma where I don't wheeze, I just get very tired due to not getting enough oxygen. An inhaler helps. I once had an asthma stress test, that confirmed that I can lose a huge amount of lung capacity and don't wheeze--just get faint. Also I'm aware that air hunger is a common symptom of babesia infection (a lyme co-infection which is a protozoan) where treatment of the infection results in dramatic improvement.
