Why do my lungs feel like someone is scraping glass down my trachea when I get out of breath?

ouch. Maybe you have developed asthma.  Better see your doc.

a crushing feeling? that sounds like a heart attack to me\n\ndo you have asthma?\nask your doctor about erosive esophagitis, this is a concern if you have GERD

I would go have that checked out by a doc. It could be something serious, or you could be developing asthma. I know I personally never had asthma until one day being around car exhaust caused me to have an asthma attack. They call it environmental asthma. Other things that can cause difficulty in breathing are muscle damage in the chest wall, or other serious problems in your lungs. It basically depends on how the pain is, and if it came on sharp and sudden. If it is sharp and sudden, go to a doc immediately. If it is a gradual onset, still go to a doc and see what they say. Good luck!

It is the force of your lungs suddenly being deflated due to the force of hitting or being hit very hard. It can be in the stomach region causing the diaphragm to come up, or in the ribs or back causing the air to be forced from the lungs. The worst that ever happen to me was playing touch football. I was the quarterback and was being chased by a girl. I fell in a hole which knocked the wind out of me, then she fell on top of me which made it worse. It took me about 10 minutes to get my breath back to where I could sit, and about a week to get over the bruising from the fall.

Cough, usually bringing up lots of phlegm, fever, chills, pain in your chest when coughing or deep breathing, feeling short of breath, etc. See your doctor.

it's not dangerous but can be a sign of bronchitis, an upper respiratory infection, or a result of heavy smoking. If you smoke try to cut back and it won't be so bad. If your sick take chest congestion medication and it will relent within a few days.

Sounds like the doc said, an inflamation, maybe caused by an infection.  I've had it a few times, but normally following a rib injury, which does not have to be major. You don't breathe properly, or cough, so the air in the bottom of the lungs gets stagnant.

you are breathing heavier thus expelling moisture from your throat causing it to dry up and become sore

There are mucous membranes in your lungs that produce the "snot" in the same way your saliva glands produce saliva. When you are sick, these membranes are inflammed and irritated and they produce more mucous than usual.\n\nThis is why we cough -- we cough because our body is trying to expel the excessive mucous from inside our lungs. It's that little tickling sensation you get right before you cough or sneeze.

If this is happening on a regular basis, definitly see a doctor!  However, this happens to me and has been since I can remember but found out when I was older that gas trapped can cause this sharp pain.  I always thought I was having a heart attack when I was a teen!!  It hurt to breath in too deep and it was a sharp pain that felt like it was in my heart area.  This only happens to me a couple of times a year.  In otherwords, it's not a regular occurance for me...

Your trachea closes off your lungs when you swallow anything, so the food or liquid does not enter into your lungs and kill you.\nI hate when it doesn't work and i choke on water...gag

I don't think it asthma, I think it is a build up of co2 (carbon dioxide) the reason is, you blood is pumping faster while you exert energy, if your breathing rate is not in tune with your heart rate, then your capularies(in your lungs) will absorb the CO2 that is residual in your lungs from your last exhale, there fore building up CO2 levels in your blood. Breath deeper and slower, and decrease your heart rate to fix this. You will be in no immediate danger unless you continue to run for an extended period of time. Its a similar effect from scuba diving.

Could be a couple of things.  I would see a doctor.  First have you done any heavy lifting or weird stretching, if so it could be your intercostal muscles.  These are muscles that help you breather.  Very, very painful if torn.  You could also have an ulcer that is bleeding.  This will give off the same pain.  Again it could be a lot of different things.  I would see a doctor, even if the pain goes away.

Okay here is an answer from your friendly respiratory therapist. when you breathe you do so through your nose, at least you should, humans are nose breathers.  We do this because right beyond your nose is a body part called the concha which in simple terms is like a palm tree full of blood vessels and tissue, etc to naturally warm up, filter and hydrate the air you breathe in so when it gets to the lungs its is as warm, clean and damp as possible.  Now when you blow your nose you blast that nasal concha with hurricane force winds and the crap on it comes off, sometimes you break a blood vessel on the concha which s generally no big deal, unless you have a bleeding disorder.  Anyway this is all up in you sinuses and when you blow you nose hence the warm pink snot.  I hope that this anatomy and physiology lesson was helpful, if not email me. I'll explain further

It feels like you are about to stop breathing you lose control of your body it tenses up then it is like an explosion of energy through a very small hole. that is why we jerk like that for along time even after we finish. then all the feeling comes back very fast. in which it makes us very sensitive on the tip of it.

It's not normal to feel pain when you cough unless you are coughing really hard, if you are not having troubles breathing that's good, but you might want to ask your doctor what could be causing this sudden pain when you cough.You could have emphysema or congestion in your lungs.

My husband gets this all the time.  He was actually hospitalized at one point because they thought that he was having a heart attack.  They said it is something air getting between the lining of his lungs and his chest wall.   It is called pleurisy.   I would suggested wearing a mask when you go outside.  This way the cold air doesn't go right into your mouth.\n\nHere is something I found about Pleurisy on a website.  Hope this helps.\n\n:One of the most characteristic and easy to diagnose types of chest pain is pleurisy from inflammation or irritation of the parietal pleura, which is innervated by branches of nearby intercostal nerves and, over the center of each hemidiaphragm, by the phrenic nerves. In contrast, the visceral pleura is not innervated by nociceptive (pain) receptors, but owing to the contiguity of the visceral and parietal pleural surfaces, inflammatory processes in the periphery of the lungs often cause the pain of pleurisy by extension across the membranes.\n\nBecause most intrapulmonary disorders are apt to be localized within a single lung, pleuritic pain is usually sharply restricted to the ipsilateral chest wall or shoulder, cutaneous areas supplied by the involved intercostal or phrenic nerves, respectively. But perhaps the most singular feature of pleurisy is its unmistakable relationship to breathing movements. The pain may be variously described as “sharp,” “dull,” “achey,” sometimes “burning,” or simply a “catch,” but whatever its designation, it is worsened by taking a deep breath, and either coughing or sneezing causes intense distress. The aggravation by breathing causes patients to seek, find, and remain in the body position that most restricts movement of the affected region.
