Shortness of Breath After Female Orgasm Posted: 01-01-08 18:40pm
I'm an older woman who enjoys my sexuality
and have smoked for way too long. Lately
I've been having trouble breathing after
an orgasm, so much so, it scares me to
death. Has anybody else experienced this?
I'm getting really upset about this, but
too afraid to keep up the fun.
I know i should stop smoking, but it
really is hard to do, so i guess i have to
make a choice, but not right now please.

Does it possibly have anything to do with
your breathing patterns before the orgasm?
Some people hold their breath or
hyperventilate- that could explain your
breathing problems. Try focusing on your
breathing and taking slow deep breaths
before you orgasm- see if it helps.

and if you're really worried about it,
have a doc take a look (hear) of your
lungs. maybe there's something more going
on than you know?

fiunny you should mention my doctor. He
has been hounding me for a while to have a
chest x-ray. I'm nervous about that since
my husband died a few years ago from lung
cancer, I'm just too skittish when it
comes to having my chest x-rayed.

do it! at least if everything comes back
okay it's one less thing you will have to
worry about. if it doesn't come back with
great results, then maybe its something
simple that can be treated and help you in
the long run. i dont' know how much you
smoke, but maybe try to cut it down a
little bit. cut about a pack out a week?
i know it's a bit to ask, especially if
you have been smoking for a while, but
please, do something to try to get your
body doing what it should...being healthy
so you can enjoy your life.

I agree. If you ignore a problem, it won't
go away, it will only get worse faster.
You know what I mean?
