Tight chest and weezing.

[Bullwinkle]

This works great John P.

My SO and I have gone on a plant-only diet for the past few months with lots of fresh,whole, organic foods. Many of them are juiced so we can get the benefits of more veg than we could actually eat.

Our overall health has improved greatly. I mean big time! We have also lost quite a bit of weight and feel great. Health problems we didn't even realize we had disappeared.

If you aren't eating all veg with lots of good filtered/clean water you are probably operating at a baseline health level much lower than you could be.

I didn't believe it until I tried it. It is simply amazing and I'm never going back to eating processed food or a meat based diet.

I'm still eating oysters on the half-shell for my birthday though!

I am a CARNIVORE! When I see a cow or a deer I want to EAT IT! I may die when I am 60 but I am having fun while I am still here. I also eat POTATOES with my meat. Nothing against Veggies (I eat them too) but I gotta have me some meat! And I don't want to live without my pepsi so if these things are the cause as well as if vaping is than bring on the tight chest and weezing. I always used to say I would probably leave this world when I am smoking with oxygen and I blow up. My Grandma died at 59 from bone cancer and she was a health nut her whole life. I mean no disrespect to anyone who is very health conscious. To each their own. vape on

ROFLMBO humans are supposed to eat meat it is the processed foods that are the problem.......

I hate to say it but drop the Pepsi and the milk ASAP. Milk is known to cause mucus build up as well as contribute to a ton of health problems with the lungs and other areas. Silk soy milk and the like are No better. Pepsi even Caffeine free has all types of nasty stuff in it that's not good for you. Just search whats in soft drinks and milk and the effects they can have. Horrible stuff for the human body. Even a calf wont drink his mothers milk once it's weaned off of it.

The thing is, you don't know what is contributing to your problems. It's best to eliminate Everything that could be causing you any damage - at least for a while to see if your condition improves. Perhaps go Vegan for a month or two with only all organic foods, no processed foods, no or very little meat and no or very little carbohydrates. 95 percent of all disease can be directly related to our diets. Processed foods are Anti Foods, not really foods meant for human consumption at all but soda and milk are at the top of the worst of the worst.

After two months of eating this way, if your symptoms don't improve, then look for other reasons. Do go see your doctor for a check up. Truth is E-cigs are not known to cause these problems so you need to look for anything else that can cause them.

Sorry vaping is known to cause some breathing issues. PG and other components in ejuice are respiratory irritants. When you breath in an irritant your body reacts with inflammation and mucus. Some peoples body reacts more than others and those that react more can and will wheeze because of vaping.

No vaping isn't as bad as smoking but it isn't without some risk. Remember this is a reduced risk habit.......

With these kinds of threads, we're often quick to point out all the possible causes OTHER than vaping. Its understandable why we do this, basically out of fear of fueling the FDA and the anties with fodder to eventually use against us. But acting out of fear is never a noble path. It's .irresponsible for us, as a community, to endeavor to white wash, sugar coat or in any way deny that there is a lack of data that exists on the health effects of long term usage of e cigs - in an effort solely to advance an agenda..

The truth is that, absent this data, your symptoms may very well be attributed to vaping. God knows I hope not, as I'm completely enthralled with vaping, and hope to vape happily and safely to my dying day. But the possibility is something you - and all of us - have to face when we make our decision to vape or not. It's the freedom of making that personal decision, of our own free will, that should be defended fiercely, with confidence that the foundation of our convictions and ideals in this regard are sound enough to advance our agenda when the time comes for debate - instead of focusing our fears against defending as yet undetermined health concerns.

It will be interesting to see if ECF deletes this post or not, to determine whether they act on fear or ideals. I hope it's the latter.

Are we talking about the same forum?

More often than not, threads related to your health are moved to the Health & Safety section. Since it's a new member that can't post there it's fine here. The only time threads are deleted is when they're from obvious trolls and anti's that get their jolly's by trying to scare people with lies or information that just doesn't have a factual basis.

I think when we make a major lifestyle change (quitting drinking, new diet, quitting smoking) we do become hyper-aware of even minor changes in our bodies that we didn't think about before. In fact we sometimes buried our heads in the sand because we did know how bad smoking was and who wanted to face that? That cough you had for 20 years- no problem!!
But an eye twitch, and it must be from vaping! Just kidding! It's important to listen to your body and see a doctor. I did develop thyroid issues and the doctor told me it's not unusual with people that quit smoking.

If it weren't for his last line I would have just walked away from that post, but some days people just annoy the hell out of me with their ECF moderation bashing. If you don't like the way ECF is run there are other resources out there...

Our moderation is what sets us aside from the other Forums, and the truth is that the complainers are the vocal minority.

I have never had any problem with pollen .. until this season .. I just finished my 6 month check up and told my DR .. he said this has been the worst allergen season ever recorded since they started keeping records ..

Although oldsoldier and I don't always agree (but when we do we drink Dos Equis) .. I do agree with this .. the Web has gotten so caustic in some areas that it's almost scary .. a civil discussion can be impossible .. although there are a few other Forums that moderate well ..

I vape a lot and all day long.

I will get a tight chested heavy-ish cough and itchy skin if I don't stay on top of water input.

But with over 2 years of vaping and not one cigarette after smoking for 40+ years...I'll drink the water !

Although I don't disagree, I believe it's mainly the flavoring that some have issues with .. myself, I stay away from cinammon / nutmeg spiked liquids .. and I always ask a vendor what they use .. if they refuse to disclose, I move on

Issues like this crop up on ECF regularly .. no one knows the home made chemistry that goes into liquid .. and there are known flavorings that cause lung irritation in some folks .. to say that a PV cannot cause issues of this type is false ..

I tend to neglect the water input sometimes but when I do these tell tale signs remind me

Agreed! Though I love cinnamon I've found that cinnamon creates issues for me if I over do it. Any Supplier that is not willing to disclose (non proprietary) information on request is pretty much off my list of folks that get my money. I'm not looking for any secret info about flavors and percentages I just want to know simple things like whether the flavoring is an alcohol based extract, if they use cinnamon oil etc.
If they tap dance I look at it as :
a. they don't know (Bad answer and I don't want or need your product if you don't know what is in it)
b. they aren't willing to tell (which means either they don't know, or are hiding something).

I didn't mean to upset anyone. I don't think vaping is risk free but I do believe it is a lot better than smoking. I don't think ECF deletes posts but a lot of sites forums or otherwise do so I can see why a person would expect that. Even tho I will never go on an all veggie diet I did appreciate the advise because maybe another member will think it's a great idea and it will be good for them. I appreciate all advise I get from other members. If it don't help me it may help someone else. That's what ECF is all about. Helping one another. Vape on everyone

I would agree strong perfumes and air-fresheners bother me more than anything else.
