My lungs are bubbling?!

[Pvt.kyle5]

This happened to me once before when I vaped for months straight. My lungs wouldn't be constricted but they sounded like they were gargling fluid. After I stopped for a few months it went away. But I'm shipping out for the military in 2 weeks and the last two night at my going away party and another I vaped excessively because I [removed] and it's back! How can I get rid of it fast???

Go see a doctor, i doubt thats vaping fault.

Just stop vaping. You won't be able to do any of that in Basic so might as well get used to it now.

Yep-
Just stop vaping.
My lungs healed when I started Vaping so idk what's up but plz see a doctor

Yours is a medical question which can't be answered on an Internet forum. However, this is the first time I've seen a "bubbling" complaint. Are you a current/former smoker?

First, go see your doctor.
Do you also get sharp pain on your back and chest specially when breathing deeply? sounds like a Pleurisy (NOT A DOCTOR, DON'T TAKE MY WORD AS MEDICAL ADVICE)

If you are a smoker (like me) and you smoke various things then yes vaping, especially the first one in the morning, can result in a good bit of phlegm in the lungs. The vape seems to loosen things up a bit. A good hork and spit usually does the trick though.

I don't have an answer for you regarding your lung issue, but since you are shipping out to bootcamp shortly, I would like to thank you for taking that step towards helping defend this nation.

Thank you, the more I spit out the less the sound is produced. I just hope it's unnoticeable by the time they put the stethoscope on me otherwise they'll send me back

Welcome and glad you joined.

Sounds like a mild case of bronchitis. Every time I get that it sounds and feels like my lungs are bubbling. It's just air moving past phlegm. It usually presents with other cold like symptoms like cough, sore throat, fever and runny nose, but I've had cases where the only symptom was the gurgling feeling. Most cases where people are reporting that feeling in their lungs it's actually their bronchial tubes, slightly higher up in the tract but an easy mistake to make.
But I recommend you see a doctor and have it checked out. You may need an inhaler or antibiotics. And if it actually is in the lungs it's always best to get that looked at regardless. Oh and I used to get bronchitis bad at least 3 times a year as a smoker and it would last weeks. That's one of the reasons I switched is because I felt like I was sick most of the time.
I got my first case of it just a few weeks ago since switching to vaping 2 years ago, it felt the same as before, but resolved in 3 days instead of 3 weeks.
I'll make that trade any day.

Have you quit smoking cigarettes recently? Odd things can happen when you quit, from your lungs getting rid of the gunk buildup. You said you stopped vaping for a few months. Were you smoking during that time?

Thank you for defending our nation. I to have had a wheeze from over vaping. What I did is change vendors but don't have time for that. Go to your doctor or get some cold meds that favor mucous release. I do have a great cold tea also that might help you. 1 cup of hot water 1 tablespoon of honey 1 tablespoon of lemon juice 1 teaspoon of sugar cinnamon to taste. Hydrates you Honey cinnamon are anti oxidants lemon juice helps your throat get better dude and good luck in basic!

Maybe you've got one of these.

But seriously, go see a doc and get checked out.

Maybe try Swedish snus and avoid putting anything besides air in your lungs. If it's bad and you're worried go to the doctor.

SEE! SEE!!!!! THIS is what happens when the FDA regulates vape shops out of business and we have to buy juice made in old diesel drums, off the docks from illegal aliens! No telling what might have dropped in there.

Seriously though, get checked out. When I quit smoking I yacked up a lot of lung butter for a couple weeks. Although it did cure that lung infection and rattle when i was breathing, and a "sensitive area" in my lung that was causing "back" pain under my shoulder blade.

I've done a lot of research and googling and haven't come across anything that sounds like this.. usually just clearing up crud that was in the lungs from smoking but that only lasted a few days, with occasional hacks when you body dislodged another bit. *had 1 today, 5 months after starting vaping*

I don't even want to offer any "maybe try this" advice until after the Doc checks you out and you get the all clear.
