Well, after over 2 years of vaping, I have my first sinus infection. I would get 4-6 each year when I smoked. Weird thing is this time around, it took a while to actually realize it was a sinus infection. I had some stuffiness and felt run down, but it took waking up yesterday to the nastiest taste in the back of my throat to realize what was actually going on. And because I no longer have chronic sinus problems, I was able to just take amoxicillin instead of the usual levaquin or z pack that I needed when I smoked. And weirdly, I don't feel that bad! When I smoked, this kind of infection would land me on the sofa for a few days. My primary care doc looked shocked when she saw me because it had been so long! I used to provide her monthly lease payment in my medical bills for my sinus issues, lol!
I did not get into the vaping thing with her because I work at the same hospital that she has privileges in. I did not want to run the risk of my vaping habit getting out to anyone that works in my hospital. I just told her I quit smoking 2 years ago. She was happy. Never asked me how I quit though. Cannot wait until I finish grad school so that I can be out and proud with my vaping habit.
