Although only a doctor can really provide any meaningful feedback or a diagnosis as to what your symptoms would indicate, I suspect either you have had an allergic reaction to PG (not uncommon) or you have a really bad cold or bronchitis or something.
My vaping experience has not led to any really negative reactions, although I do get a slightly irritated throat when I vape for too long.
Last weekend and this weekend I relapsed into analog smoking, due to some stress and excess free time. The e-cigs just weren't "scratching that itch" so to speak. And although I smoked, I still kept it under a pack a day, and only on Friday-Sunday. And BOTH weekends ended with me feeling pretty sure I had the beginnings of a serious cold. And my throat kept feeling like it was closing up.
But last week, by late Monday afternoon, and a day of only vaping and no analogs, the symptoms went away. I felt fine.
Smoking analogs, for me, leads to nasty side effects now (but never did before - odd.) I somehow doubt, however, that your symptoms have anything to do with your body cleansing itself of old cigarette toxins. I tend to think that your lungs clear up more slowly and less dramatically. I quit smoking a few times, and although I failed to stay quit, my longest stretch was 18 months of no smoking. During that time, my lungs felt clearer, but I never coughed up much crap or anything. Maybe it's different for different people.
Anyway, sorry for the looooong post. Whatever is going on with you, I hope you feel better soon. Feeling sick, whether it's due to germs, smoke, or vapor, especially during the holidays, sucks super bad.
