Breathing problems

[Br549667]

Hi everyone, I have been vaping for about 4 years now and last year I started to experience breathing problems. One night at work I was vaping and all of the sudden I could not take a deep breath. This has not went away since and that happened in october. I was vaping on an old coil that I got from a friend because I was out at the time. My lungs also hurt once in a while.

I assume you went to see a doctor as soon as this started?

Please seek medical attention..

I went to the doctor and they did an x-ray, cat scan and a pulmonary function test. All of them came back good.

Seek professional medical attention, not the ideas and theories of your peers. Such a mannerism could delay urgent medical care which you may or may not need. Whilst I highly doubt you need "urgent" care, respiratory injuries and issues are serious. Judging by the fact that your symptoms haven't passed, you need to see a Dr asap.

Edit: OP responded whilst I was typing;

Try speaking to a different doctor for a 2nd opinion.

As this came on suddenly and has never gone away since even using different equipment (coil, etc) it just doesn't sound like vaping to me.

You can try different things -

1) use a higher PG juice than your using now

2) vape MTL at low wattages and higher nicotine level so your consuming less eliquid instead of DL at higher watts..

3) change the tank your using altogether, or change to a coil made with a different metal.. i.e. if your using kanthal change to SS..

4) make sure your changing your coils frequently and not vaping on dirty or gunked up coils..

5) avoid dry hits, use TC features in order to alleviate any dry hits.

6) that's all I can think of off the top. I'd definitely get a second opinion.

Breathing is fairly important.
I doubt there is a way to pass an accurate pulmonary function test or a blood O2 saturation test and not be able to breathe properly.

I'd get a second or third opinion from another medical professional.

I will get another appointment scheduled. I know I have a little bit of asthma but I don't think it would cause this. Thank you for the feedback.

Hello Br549667
Sorry you are having trouble.
Yes, please consult with your doctor - a vaping forum is not the place to get medical advice.
