smish Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just wondering if anyone else gets this. Every few weeks I seem to get a few days where I feel worse and part of it is this feeling in my chest.I don't know if this is just me but for as long as I can remember (way before POTS) if I went out in cold weather for a walk or run, I'd get a funny feeling in my chest/lungs/general breathing area (!) afterwards, and now after getting POTS it seems that I get this feeling on and off even after not doing exercise/being out in the cold. The annoying thing is that I can't even describe the feeling - I just know it feels like I've been out in the cold. It's not really a pain, just a discomfort.Anyone else?

Goschi Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I guess, I can relate to what you describe! I can't describe it more detailed either, but "chest discomfort after being out in the cold" comes very close to what I experienced since childhood! For example after sking, I always had it.Don't know how much it is POTS-related or kind of sign that you are predisposed or more likely to get POTS. Anyway, it worsened when I got POTS. And now it goes (slowly) back to normal since I am in a process of recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artluvr09 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Is it when you breath in and your chest feels like a weird cold burning sensation and out of breath? I get that when I am in the cold or when I do cardio exercise. I have asthma and as soon as I stop the exercise or get warm and do my inhaler I start to feel better. I do feel it as well to like at night for some reason. LIke a shortness of breath weird feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
