During chronic dehydration, the body will attempt to conserve water by preventing unnecessary water loss. A large amount of water is normally lost from the lungs as water vapor through expired air. Histamine, which also controls bronchial muscle contractions, may attempt to restrict water loss through expiration by constricting the bronchial muscles.
i beleive this is what happens to me and many others. ive always drank a gallon of water without trying but back in my true weigtlifting days i would sometimes go up to 3 gallons.
ive noticed sometimes during sex when im about to nut all of a sudden it seems like this brief constriction action happens in my lungs and scares the shit out of me because at that point my heart rate seems to get ahead of my breathing so then i try extra harder to breath in...this is what happens in a heart attack you have someone gasping for air then that heart muscle dies then they die so quickly
maybe this can help other people this is why i posted it. i think i carry such massive amounts of muscle without even trying yet i dont drink enough water
i think when i was younger i could get away with dehydration but now as the body matures and parts of the body mature , the effects of improper hydration are more noticable
