After an intense exercise session why do I get the taste of blood in the back of my throat?

There are several possible reasons:\n\n* Straining a small capillary in your nose or in the back of your throat.\n\n* You are unconsciously grinning your teeth, which can sometimes make your gums bleed.\n\n* You have high blood pressure and are making it even higher by strenuous exercise.\n\n* Some other medical problem.\n\nIf this persists for more than a couple of weeks, see your physician.

After.\n\nWhen you eat before, more blood will be directed to your intestant, less will be available to supply your muscles with energy and your brain will get even less oxygen than in the workout situation in the first place.

It sounds like acid reflux or also called extreme heartburn.\nIt is from excess acid from the stomach coming up into the esophagus or  feed tube.

its a buil up of gases inside your stomach trying to escape... for example when you drink a can of soft drink its the gasses escaping from the fluid that builds in your stomach which then force themselves through your throat.

People will give you all kinds of answers about breathing, eating, drinking, putting your hands over your head, etc.  The bottom line is that it means you are not conditioned yet.  You will eventually get conditioned and it will stop.

This is a very specific complaint that needs to be worked up.  I disagree with the idea that dehydration or changes in the "way your salivary glands work" are the cause. I also disagree that tears can cause a salty taste.  If you produce excess tears, they run down your face...only the slow steady amount of tears normally produced collect and empty into the nose, and this quantity doesn't change.\n\nAlthough the more serious problems are unlikely, they are a BIG DEAL if you don't get them taken care of right away.  SO, there are a few possibles:\n\n1) As mentioned, postnasal drip can cause a subtle salty taste, but this is usually associated with allergy or upper respiratory infection symptoms.  If you have no other symptoms, I would not put my eggs in this basket.\n\n2) A leakage of cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) through the upper sinuses or the area of the nerves that sense smell (the cribriform plate).  There are a number of neurological conditions that can cause such a leak.  Most importantly, do you have headaches made worse by standing?\n\n3) a medication or dietary reaction are also possible.\n\nMost importantly, you should see your doctor and try to get in to see a specialist if this doesn't resolve in the next week.  This is more urgent if you are having headaches.

Brain freeze is the result of drinking a cold beverage.  The cold fluid in your throat is in close proximity to the ateries that supply your brain, and the blood ends up getting chilled, which causes a moment of pain in your head.

When doing vigourous exercise, the body cannot keep up with the amount of oxygen needed. So it carries a form of respiration which does not require oxygen. After the exercise however you have a oxygen dept. This means that even after you finish exercising you are still breathing heavily as you body needs oxygen to nuetralise the latic acid which is produced during anaerobic respiration (latic acid is the reason your muscles hurt while exercising)

The metallic taste in your mouth could be blood'
847725
There are number of causes for a metallic taste in the mouth. The most common causes are as follows:\n1) Oral problems: when blood breaks down iron is released and causes a metallic taste in mouth. common causes of bleeding could be gingivitis or periodontal disease (gum disease), it could also be from sinuses or nose. If the cause is the post nasal drip tastes can get specially bad. Metallic restorations like amalgams (silver fillings) could be leaking and breaking down have your dentist check them and if you have older silver fillings have them replaced with bonding, porcelain veneers http://www.nwsmilespecialist.com\n\n2)medications: \nAmong the drugs that can cause a metallic taste in your mouth are antibiotics like Biaxin (clarithromycin) and Flagyl (metronidazole), used to treat a wide variety of infections; drugs used to treat an overactive thyroid; captopril, used to treat high blood pressure; griseofulvin, used to treat skin infections; lithium, used in bipolar disorder; penicillamine, used for rheumatoid arthritis, kidney stones, and too much copper in the body; plus some drugs used in cancer treatment\n.http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA350574\n\n3) Impaired taste (Dysgeusia): common causes of impaired taste are:\ncommon cold, nasal infection, nasal polyps, sinusitis, salivary gland infections, influenza, viral pharyngitis, mouth dryness, aging, vitamin B-12 deficiency, gingivitis, bell's pasy, sjorgen's syndrome, strep throat\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus\n\n4) Excessive copper intake:\nExcessive copper intake can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, dizziness, weakness, diarrhea, and a metallic taste in the mouth. Copper toxicity is rare but can cause heart problems, jaundice, coma, and even death. \nCopper overload may occur from using copper cookware and from water supplied by copper pipes on a regular basis. Copper can leach out of pipes into water, especially hot water, if it sits in copper pipes for an extended period of time. It is best to always cook with cold water. Flushing the system by running cold water for 2 to 3 minutes is an effective way to reduce copper. Also, it is best to avoid unlined copper cookware since copper can leach into acidic foods such as vinegar, tomato, or citrus. If you have blue-green stains around your faucet or sink, or if you detect a metallic taste to your water, you may want to have your water tested by a certified laboratory.\nhttp://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsSupplements/Coppercs.html\nBest of luck.

It could be your sinuses. If I get too much water in my sinuses I often get painful headaches. It usually takes a couple of hours after I swim, though. If I feel a headache coming on after I swim , I take Sudafed or it's generic form. The chlorine can do some substantial damage to your sinuses if you are sensitive to it.\n\nIt could also have something to do with your neck alignment. A pinched nerve or muscle tension my be the cause. Have a swim instructor look at your head position when swimming. Are your ears underwater when swimming? If not, the strain on your neck from you lifting your head might be a cause.

Immediately after hard work (like running) the breath is very very deep, so You can inhale water. \n\nIf Your breath is OK, cold water can make Your heart slow down or even stop, because of coldness. \n\nAt last, You can swallow very large amount of water, which can't pass through the diaphragm hole to the stomach, and a sharp pain in Your chest can occur, which is happening because of expansion of the passage. That expansion can rupture the diaphragm or the passage.\n\nAnyway, it is adviced to drink water before running, but if You have to take some water after running, take it in small swallows, with pauses between, and make sure that the water is at the ambient temperature.

It's common after you exercise or do something strenuous.\nIf it happens when you don't exert yourself, go see your doctor.\nHigh blood pressure is NOT something to mess around with. \nHeart attack, stroke.....these and more....go to the doc.!\n:)

Some people get hypotension after eating, particularly a large meal.  I'm guessing this is because blood is diverted to the GI tract and the brain suffers a temporary reduction in oxygen.  Try eating smaller meals and perhaps resting afterward.

Because a lot of your blood is being moved to your stomach and intestines to digest your food.  Perhaps you have low blood volume or poor circulation.  You might want to see a doctor.

Possibly.  And it is something that needs to be checked.  We use the same technique in patients that are experiencing a heart attack.  We call it the brady method.  When someone is having a heart attack, we tell them to cough forcefully or to bear down as if to have a large bowel movement.  This coughing process slows the heart rate, which would explain your sudden dizziness.  As for the headaches and the chest pain, that is quite understandable, since you are exerting high amounts of pressure on those muscles.  When you feel the cough spells coming on, see your doc and ask about a cough syrup such as guaiffennisen because one of these days, your coughing episodes may literally cause you to pass out, and if you are driving at the time, well, I don't need to tell you how dangerous that can be.
