question for all of you. I figured I would start here before going into the main area.
In the last few weeks, I have started to notice feeling tightness in my chest as though I was smoking. It is definitely worse in the am.
I know the common responses will be that you will say that my body is adjusting after quitting smoking. I know this is not the case here. some background. I had not smoked in about three years before starting vaping about a year and a half ago. My lungs felt perfectly clear. I also have not felt this the entire time that I have been vaping.
Now it could be I am vaping more. I do seem to be taking bigger hits and using my devices more in recent weeks. I also have not changed my juice mix, although I did start making some of my own. I did not seem to have many issues with PG in the past so I am not sure that was it either.
any advice or help is appreciated. thanks!
Well, we know it's not a cold, so you should go to the doctor, ob. He will/she will probably blame it on the vaping though. How many years were you a smoker? Do you have a family history of heart disease? You could have something wrong with your heart because of smoking...even though you have quit. We know this has been going on longer than it should. Right?
My brother died at the age of 40 from a massive heart attack (he was a smoker), so it's not impossible for that to be an issue at your age. Two weeks ago my S-I-L, same age as me, had a quadruple bypass (though we are older than you). A heart attack at your age should be a concern being an ex-smoker. Of course diet and lifestyle plays a part too.
Have you tried vaping zero nic at all? Nicotine does still affect the heart, but not as much as the 4000 other chemicals in cigarettes. It could still be an issue though.
It could also be something else, so...
Go to the doctor! Please.
