How would you define this breathing problem ?

Question

I have this problem :
As described in my profile, I am in the military and often, I live with other peoples in the same room, ect, ect. It is not really a problem even if I have sometimes a little hard to sleep or take a shower, mainly due to the very special humor sense of some peoples...But one of my main problem is when I am in crowded place such as today, during an airshow : every 3-4 minutes, I have the feeling of needing more air, so I have to raise and throw my head slightly to the rear to take a deep breathe. Once did, I feel better during some minutes. Is it a physical problem due to a higher CO2 concentration or something other ?

Thanks for the replies

Answer 1

claus·tro·pho·bic (klô'strə-fō'bĭk) pronunciation
adj.

1.
1. Relating to or suffering from claustrophobia.
2. Uncomfortably closed or hemmed in.
2. Usage Problem. Tending to induce claustrophobia; uncomfortably confined or crowded: a claustrophobic little room.

claustrophobically claus'tro·pho'bi·cal·ly adv.

USAGE NOTE Clinically speaking, claustrophobic refers to an abnormal tendency to feel terror in closed spaces. But like other terms used to describe psychological conditions (narcissistic and schizophrenic, for example), claustrophobic has been applied more loosely in general usage over time. At first it referred to any kind of temporary feeling of being closed in or unable to escape (I felt claustrophobic in that tiny room). Then it became common to use it to refer to any kind of space that might make a person feel such sensations (The staff members are jammed into a nest of claustrophobic offices). This latter usage is unacceptable to 74 percent of the Usage Panel, implying that claustrophobic should be used only to describe a psychological state. Nevertheless, this usage is well established, and it follows a tendency to combine adjectives with nouns according to a progressively looser interpretation of the relationship between the two. For example, the phrase topless swimsuit came to be followed by topless dancers, which led in turn to topless bars, topless districts, and topless ordinances. By the same token, a room that induces a particular emotion may be described as sad or cheerful without objection, and there seems to be no reason for drawing the line at calling it claustrophobic.

Answer 2

it doesnt sound like anything worrisome except that you might be claustrophobic. If at any other time you are not having any breathing problems i would say you are fine.

Answer 3
