What Causes Recurrent Difficulty In Breathing?
I have been having a burning sensation around my bronchial tubes in the last year when I walk up hill and start breathing deeply. It seems if I continue walking it lessens. I m 70 with a family history of heart trouble. My resting heart rate is 60, my blood pressure is around 115 over 60. I haven t noticed it this summer but it just started again. I do fight high cholesterol and have had fairly good success with taking fish oil.
