Last night, after a long hiatus, I played a few hours of basketball at the gym. After a few trips sprinting up and down the court, I tasted blood. This has happened before, I can recall it when playing football when it's chilly. <br> <br> What's going on? I take this as a sign that I'm out of shape and was pushing too hard, but what's really happening? Blood leaking from my sinuses? Are pulmonary capillaries breaking? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.50073 Fri, 03 Nov 2006 07:24:02 -0800 excercise tasteblood cramer
