Wow, I was thinking of starting a thread on the same topic. At kettlebell class a few weeks ago, the instructor asked me if I had asthma - he noticed that my breathing was short. I said, not that I know of (I always think of people with asthma as choking and needing inhalers) but since then, I've been aware of my breathing. Every winter for the past few years, I've had bronchitis that lasted as long as several months. I still cough a lot in the morning, and cough if I try to take a big deep breath.
But I don't feel "sick", nor do I have any big loss of energy. I thought of seeing a doctor, but I hope this isn't one of those things, like bad backs or dizziness, that everyone complains about but doctors can't figure out why it's happening. I just want to be able to take a great big deep breath like I used to.
Do lungs shrink with age, like bladders?
