[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 4093131, member: 745"] Look at the real science of hot, humid air. Well, hot has some to do with it, but humidity is the culprit. People say, "The air is heavy today because of the humidity." Yes, high humidity makes it harder to breathe, but it is not that the air is heavier. It is actually lighter. Water vapor in the air displaces some of the O[SIZE=2]2[/SIZE] (and other gasses in the air), ergo, the O[SIZE=2]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE]concentration is lower in each specific volume(breath) of air. Therefore, you must breath deeper and/or faster to get more air to reach the amount of O[SIZE=2]2[/SIZE] you require. It may not be that you are having breathing problems of some physical nature, but instead because there is less O[SIZE=2]2[/SIZE] in the air. DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor in real life nor on the internet, so make sure you consult your physician about any breathing problems you may be experiencing. Woody [/QUOTE]
