Heartburn anyone?

[jacq]

Last night and most of today I have had a heartburn type pain in my chest, is this related to the vaping?

Does anybody else get this or should I see my doctor?

I'd visit my doctor to be sure it's nothing serious.

Yes , probably the vaping . I had the same thing happen to me at first . Drink more water , don't drag on it so hard , and don't vape constantly . All these seemed to help me . Mostly the extra water (flavored ) if it will help you to drink more .

I agree if you feel anything is wrong with you possibly medically the only one who can advise you on what it is or how to treat it would be a board certified doctor.

This should also be possibly in the Health part of the forums.

I had the same thing happen! If you watch some of the video reviews of devices and eliquids online, it is amazing how many times the reviewer belches etc. Interesting post.

There are threads about heartburnn and indigestion due to vaping in the Health forum. I got indigestion when I started, but haven't had any for the last week or so. I think it helps that I learned to vape better. I also switch to a low nicotine juice (8-12) at night.

I've had heartburn (rather sodburn) problems on a regular basis when i was still a smoker and about 7-8 months after i quit. Go see a doc, i bet he can help you out and see to it.

It could be the nic is to high. I got a small bottle of 26mg for work when I can only take a couple of puffs. One day I left the house with only the strong stuff and I got bad heartburn and hiccups from it.

Could definitely be the nicotine from what I've read. I'm on Prevacid for reflux (Diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus) and the meds worked perfectly until I switched to vaping about two weeks ago. Now I'm getting a little bit of heartburn/reflux, but it seems to be getting better over time. Honestly I think some of us are getting more nicotine than we did when we smoked- and I'm ok with that; it's better than tar & carcinogens.

That said, go see a doctor. Don't mess around with chest pain. Even if it is just mild heartburn- there are a lot of great options to treat it so it doesn't progress to something worse.

I will agree with people who say not to mess around with chest pain and to go see a doctor.

That said, heartburn is a common symptom of quitting smoking. Take a look at this thread both for symptoms of quitting smoking and symptoms of vaping: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...hen-quitting-tobacco-changing-ecigarette.html

Thanks for the link and all the comments everyone, I believe it is nothing more sinister than heartburn as antacids have helped but I will of course monitor it.

Can't believe I have been without analogs for a week tomorrow Yay!
