A heart attack is not imminent!

Unless you have serious heart issues and sudden chest pain, you are not about to have a heart attack. Breathlessness is not an uncommon condition. It can happen at any time during exertion, or even during a panic attack. However, it is particularly worrying if it occurs during sexual activity.

A sexual encounter is an exertion which always makes demands on your heart and lungs. You may need to breathe more deeply, and your blood pressure and heart rate could increase for a short time! 

Common causes for running out of breath during sex

If you are generally short of breath on a daily basis and often have a tightness in the chest during normal activities, it might be advisable to visit the doctor for a proper diagnosis. 

Some common reasons why you may be short of breath during sex:

• Anxiety about your performance or body image may lead to breathlessness.
  
• There might be a medical lung issue, such as asthma or emphysema, which contributes to shortness of breath when exerted.
  
• Heavy smoking can lead to lung damage, which will negatively affect your breathing by reducing the capacity of your lungs to take in air during exertion. Smoking may have caused some lung and chest damage, which has reduced the capacity of your lungs to take in air during exertion.
  
• Obesity can also cause you to pant for breath and wheeze during passionate moments.

Medical issues may require the attention of a medical practitioner, especially if running out of breath is affecting your sex life.

How to manage your breathing during sex:

• If you are feeling tired and stressed, delay sex until you are more comfortable and relaxed.
  
• Don’t plan to have sex after a heavy meal. Breathing might be hampered if you have a full stomach and feel bloated.
  
• If you use oxygen at home, using it before a sexual encounter, may help you prevent getting too short of breath.

Talk to your partner about how shortness of breath is affecting you during sex.  If you have a strong relationship and communicate well with each other, together you may be able to come up with a solution to ease the problem. Note that shortness of breath is not a serious condition, but rather an irritation which can be successfully handled.
