Bronchitis/massive sinus infection worsened by e-smoking?????

[MorpheusPA]

I'd turn your Twist down to the bottom number that gives you a tolerable vape until you're feeling better.

And get yourself to the doctor. Bronchitis and sinus infections can turn into any number of nasty (and temporarily debilitating) things if ignored!

Ask me about the time I ignored a minor sinus infection and went completely deaf for three weeks. By the time I saw Mr. Doctor he was reacting rather oddly and my doctor does not panic. Or, in writing (as I couldn't hear a word) "If you can't hear in a week I want to see you IN THIS OFFICE IMMEDIATELY. Call me the instant you can hear and let the nurse know."

Yessir, yessir. Hearing was a little dull on the left side for about six months.

WOW, yeah I suppose I outta get on in, girlfriend is on me to do it as well. I HATE doctors!!!! I've always just kinda just dealt with it and let it pass, but this bug is pretty nasty, I feel GREAT though, other then the hacking till I blackout part, and the nastiness I've been coughing up......Other then that, I'm all energy, no sick stomach, nothing, quite a weird season its turning out to be.

Is your diet good? Been under much stress? Taking medication?

Lol, sorry to say it, but diet BAD, Stress LOTSSSSSS, more than usual actually.......House I'm renting at the moment is going under foreclosure cause the owner didn't pay their mortgage, so I'm trying to buy something before I end up well ya know.......Homeless. I work 12 hours a day, so my diet consists of mostly Arby's or Subway, both totally unhealthy but I do try to avoid Mcdonalds and fried fast food. Yeah that's probably not helping my cause any eh.

It sounds like you're under the perfect storm for getting ill--stressed, poor diet, fall season, and all that.

Hint: nobody really likes going to the doctor, but he's not going to stick a needle in you, just prescribe antibiotics. If you're experiencing syncope from coughing, you really, really need to go now.

I'm not a fearmonger, but you are running the risk of pneumonia. That would knock you on your .... for weeks or months.

All I can tell you is that I suffered from Bronchitis and sinuses whole life even before I've ever smoked. In first four months of vaping my Bronchitis completely disappeared, my sinuses got 70% better and my upper sinuses got 30% better. To me vaping is a miracle in this respect because no medic could ever do anything for me and it's been a constant attempt.
Go have a checkup you might have caught some infection. Also don't vape too much Nic and too much strong flavors. Use moderation.

Haven't had a cold since I started vaping yet. But last time when I quit smoking for a few years, I've noticed that my colds got to be more rare and felt more severe. The coughing really hurt. I have a theory that something in analogs acted as a lung anesthetic.

Based on my non-existant knowledge of anatomy, take my theory with a large block of salt

Got my first cold/flu this season. I still smoke, but vape around 50% of the time. Presented with sinus symptoms late Monday morning, and lung symptoms very early Tuesday morning. I mixed a batch of flavorless e-liquid at 12mg/ml instead of my usual 18mg/ml, in order to lower it's irritation level, and lowered my vaping wattage.

Had two pretty miserable days, and three that weren't too bad. Saturday morning, and I've pretty much gotten the remnants of the gunk out of the bottom of my lungs, and it looks like I'll dodge the usual bronchitis that hangs around for a couple of weeks.

Not bad for only having replaced half of my cigarette consumption with vaping. The vaping still made me cough more often than smoking did, but it wasn't as harsh after mixing the weaker batch and lowering wattage.

Vaping 18mg/ml will cause me an instant urge to cough even when I'm not sick, if it's been an hour or so since I have vaped. After several puffs, that reduces. Vaping 0mg/ml causes me no urge to cough at all, so it's my observation that the nicotine is the main irritant for me, and reducing it probably did help to not exacerbate it.

The cigarettes actually paralyze the cillia in your lungs... little tiny hair like fuzzy things that move to try to trap and clear out junk. When you stop smoking and those regenerate you'll be able to cough more often and harder to clear out your lungs when you're sick.

I also have bronchial symptoms. Watch out for stress. When I get really stressed out that's when my bronchitis creeps up on me in the middle of the night or the next morning.

Dude... I have every possible lung ailment known to man except lung cancer. I have never coughed to the point of blacking out. You are SICK. Go to the doctor!
