I am trying to lose weight and had started a strenuous workout with trainer. I am 55, 209 lbs, taking blood pressure medication. After doing more than 40 crunches and 20 or more leg raises, when I got up from the floor I had difficulty breathing. Trainer said that while I was taking inhalers (Flovent and Ventolin) my lips turned almost black. Paramedics showed up and said no sign of asthma in lungs, blood pressure was low but was coming back up. During worst part of attack it felt like my throat was closing up and I couldnt breathe. This had happened to a lesser degree for past 2 weeks and previously when swimming laps during Aquafit. Any ideas?
Hey thereby you were taking inhalers ?? If its lung related then you must continue to take inhalers while exercise.Otherwise, it would be present as acute attack while exercising.
