So I've done today a spirometry test that checks the lung capacity. FVC is 2.57(norm foe my weight and height is 4.80) FEV1 is 2.40(norm is 4.10 for my weight). Anyway the point is that I've got quite serious lung capacity restrictions.
What I am concerned about is my exercising issues. When biking I can get dizzy, after some effort, like I am flying. So I am at risk on turning my bike upside down.
I haven't swam for quite some time but I remember that at times I could get dizzy, feeling weird.
EDIT:
I read on the net that breathing through purse lips can help. When doing this exercise I can feel my chest expanding more. But I read that supposedly this helps because the lungs have more time to extract oxygen from the air.(normally only a few percent of oxygen gets absorbed before needing to let out the breath) But I get dizzy(like drunk) after a few breaths. Am I breathing too fast through the pursed lips?
edit>I guess I was breathing too fast... Today when walking I did some breathing exercises slower and I wasn't dizzy.
