I was out for a walk today and felt as if my lungs were on fire. Does anyone else get that feeling?

[whiplow]

yes. my understanding of it is you reacting to something in the air... i use ventolin and that gets it down...or it just came to me if you have heartburn?

[teddyd]

It was not heartburn but a very uncomfortable burning feeling in my lung. Will try try my inhaler if it happens again.

[whiplow]

hope the inhaler helps you too. good luck

I get horrendous burning sensations when/if walking, especially when weather is cold or too hot. Nothing except resting eases it. Hope your inhaler works... don't work for me! I wrap a scarf round my nose and mouth to try and stop it happening. Good luck.

When I am walking outside in temperatures of 3 degrees or less then I have the feeling that my lungs are being 'vacuum packed' ! And sharp pains deep in my lungs. Does this equate at all to the feeling that your lungs are 'on fire'?

And do agree with WestWalesPaul, pop your mouth behind a scarf or high collar to ward of the cold air. Good luck.

Thanks everyone for your advise. Will try all suggestions.

Not my lungs but at the back of my throat after walking,really unpleasant.

I get the burning at the back of the throat, in cold weather like today. I put it down to the inhalers. Also get burning lungs in the cold and find it hard to breath in and out. I think if you can carry on slowly its better in the long run.....but take care as you say it can be quite unpleasant...all the best.

My burning feeling turned out to be another infection. Once agained dipped up tp the eyeballs

[hufferpuffer]

Hope you feel better soon and fight off that nasty infection quickly!! x
