Sore Lungs?

I was wondering if anyone else gets a sore, burning feeling in their lungs when they jog? I really enjoy my quiet, morning jog but it becomes painful and the burning sensation continues for about 15-20 minutes after my cool down even. This is making my work-out less enjoyable all the time, and I'm wondering if this is common or if anyone knows of a possible solution?? Thank-you very much in advance. Have a great day*!~ :) -------------- ~\"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.\"~

I know that at the begining of hockey season when they skate the hell out of us to get us ready, everyones lungs burn cause were all out of shape and not used to the hard work. Not saying your out of shape or anything, mabe your just pushing it a little to hard.

He let me try a sample of an inhaler before I run and it makes a world of difference for me. I always thought it was just me pushing to hard to get my fitness level up. I even notice I wheeze alittle while jogging sometimes, usually a sure sign of an oncoming cold or illness for me. But the inhaler cuts the wheezing down as well.

I'm not sure if I was inhaling stomach acid, or if it was just hard to tell where the pain was coming from. Now I take a zantac before running and have no problems.

The doc says that is my choice. (Not bad enough to require an inhaler.) If it's bad enough, you could tell your doctor about this. :)
