Does anyone know if there are any links between swimming too much and having trouble breathing through your nose. I swim usually about once a day after running and I have been having more and more breathing problems while running because of it (or so I think)...I don't know if this is a direct result of swimming, but does anyone else experience this?
I know that the faster I run, the harder it is to breath! Once I get this breathing problem taken care of...I'm gonna be an olympian!
A/S/L???
I have trouble after swimming too. It seems to come after swimming in a chlorinated pool so perhaps it is an allergic reaction to chlorine. I know when I wake up the next morning after a pool swim I am stuffed up big time. I am going to try nose plugs.
I heard that if you wear ear plugs you won't be dizzy after swimming. I am going to try ear plugs.
Bump...now I can't hear at all out of my right ear...no health insurance at the moment...anything I can do that doesn't involve seeing the doc?
For your nose: use a neti pot, or even just a measuring cup with salty water. Pour through nose (you can find all kinds of stuff online regarding details of technique). Do this a few times a day.
For your ears: buy an eyedropper-style bottle and fill it with rubbing alcohol. Every time you swim, immediately tip your head to one side, put in some drops, then tip your head back over and let it run out. Repeat on the other side. Because of the structure of my ears, I used to get water stuck in there all the time, but this works like a charm. I even do it after showers.
Have you considered aqua jogging instead of swimming laps? I get sick easily and I find that keeping my head out of the water is much better for my health. Aqua jogging without a float belt is a VERY good workout.
