What should I do if I've been feeling weird and experiencing breathing issues after climbing?

Client_c62430

This was the last time I have written (about 2 weeks ago) On the last Saturday I went climbing (Indoor), I'm not good I went as my first time. I think I pushed a little too hard because for the last 5 days I have been feeling weird, On Sunday afternoon I started feeling it, It felt like my breaths didn't have value. I could normally breath but they felt weird, also it got better when I didn't think about it. Could it maybe be tetany? (My mom has it and she said she had same symptoms) Or is it just pushing too hard? How would you describe the severity of your breathing issues?: - Moderate, affects daily activities Have you experienced any other symptoms along with the breathing issues?: - Lightheadedness or dizziness Do you have any history of respiratory conditions?: - No history Now it hasn't gotten a lot better. I probably should go to the doctor's right?

Doctors' responses

Yes, you should definitely consider seeing a doctor to get a proper evaluation of your symptoms. Breathing issues, particularly when they’re impacting daily activities and accompanied by lightheadedness or dizziness, can sometimes signal something more serious that warrants medical attention. It’s unlikely that your symptoms are due to tetany, which is usually associated with conditions like hypocalcemia rather than being related to physical exertion. Since this started after climbing, it might just be that your body is experiencing a reaction to physical exertion if you haven’t been active recently, but it’s worth ruling out any underlying respiratory or cardiac issues.

While waiting to see a doctor, try to avoid strenuous activities that may exacerbate your symptoms and observe whether any particular actions or environments (e.g., allergens, irritating substances) worsen or improve the sensation. Hydration and rest could help alleviate any potential muscle aching or fatigue from climbing, but they won’t specifically address breathing issues.

If you experience any worsening symptoms such as severe shortness of breath, chest pain, or confusion, you should seek emergency medical care immediately. In the doctor’s appointment, your physician may wish to perform a physical examination, listen to your lungs and heart, and possibly recommend further testing like a pulmonary function test, blood work, or a chest X-ray to determine the cause of your symptoms accurately. By consulting a healthcare professional, you’ll not only receive an appropriate diagnosis but also tailored advice on managing and treating your symptoms.
