Is vaping causing my left lung sharp pains?

I’ve been vaping for a while and I decided to quit bwcause I started feeling like I didn’t have very good stamina and I decided to quit and 3 days before I quit I started feeling small sharp pains in my left side of my body and I’m pretty sure it’s my lung but I don’t know if it’s just my anxiety and I don’t know if it’s just heart burn because I haven’t eaten much which could be the case but I don’t know

Several factors can cause sharp irritations on the left side of your body, including issues with the respiratory system, anxiety, or heart problems due to inadequate food intake. Eating healthily, staying hydrated, and resting may help improve these symptoms. However, consult a pulmonologist if the irritation persists or worsens.

my name is nikhil my age is 20 I have fever and cough I am having fever day and night since last 3 days. I have squinted in the rain many times

Male | 20

Fever and cough are typically part of the body's natural defense against infection. When you get wet in the rain, your body gets cold, which makes it a lot easier to catch a cold. Keep it warm, drink a lot of fluids, get some rest, and you can also take some over-the-counter fever medicine if you like. If your symptoms become more severe or worsen, visit a doctor.

Your doctor will advise you on whether it's safe to proceed with the scan while on these medications, considering your current health condition. Always follow your doctor's guidance regarding medical procedures.

I was diagnosed with copd last year. I am 35, don't smoke. I am always tired and I can;t clean the house anymore

Female | 35

Dealing with COPD can be challenging, even if you're a non-smoker. Feeling constantly tired and struggling with tasks like house cleaning can happen without much notice. COPD can be caused by air pollution, second-hand smoke, or genetic factors. To manage the condition, follow your doctor's prescribed medications, do breathing exercises, and avoid triggers that worsen your symptoms. Getting enough rest and eating a healthy diet are key to boosting your energy levels.

i am 17 year old boy . i have drug resistance tb in lungs so, i want to ask that can i take creatine and whey protein as i am doing gym

Male | 17

This can cause symptoms such as coughing, chest pains, and coughing up blood. Persons under TB medication are not encouraged to use creatine or whey proteins since it alter how the body responds to the drugs. Concentrate on the treatment plan provided by your doctor and also eat a balanced diet that will help in fighting the infection. Continue going to the gym but don’t take any supplements that may affect the healing process of TB within your body.

Hello, I am 30 years old. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me salbutamol lesetrin lukastin ansimar drugs for the bronchi. Can I masturbate while using these drugs?

Kişi | 30

Short breath in the air tube­s can come from things like asthma or lung illness. The­ meds your doc gave you, like salbutamol, le­setrin, lukastin, and ansimar, help open up the­ air tubes and cut swelling. Touching yourself like­ly won't impact your issue or how well the me­ds work. Just follow what your doctor says and take the meds as told.

Male | Shikhar Bomzan

Even though you've tested negative for Tuberculosis and have no symptoms, these markings might be due to previous inflammation or infection. It's important to follow up with your doctor to make sure everything is okay before going abroad for a job. Get a thorough check-up and any additional tests your doctor recommends.

I am 28 years old i am Moderate MR patient i am facing difficulty in breathing nowadays

Female | 28

With Moderate MR, the heart may very well be malfunctioning which is why your body has a difficult time getting the required oxygen. This might make you want to breathe faster, and you end up getting dizzy. You need to alert your doctor of the problem now so that your doctor can check you out and give you more effective medicine if it is necessary.

I haven't asthma flare up and I don't see my primary for 2 weeks is there anyway that I'm able to get a prescription for my prednisone for my wheezing and cough until then. I'm at Kroger pharmacy in River oaks, Gray street, Houston Texas.

You can go to see a pulmonologist or an allergist, who may be the appropriate professionals to see the wheezing and cough related to the asthma attack. They would be able to examine your condition and write them a prescription for prednisone if it is necessary.

Could cough with mucus & Chest Block

Female | 28

This may be either a cold virus or a respiratory infection. The mucus you are coughing up is your body's mechanism of clearing out microbes. The liquids, humidifiers, cough medicine without a prescription, and the physician's instructions might assist you in handling the symptoms. You can drink fluids, use a humidifier, or take over-the-counter cough medicine to reduce the symptoms.

When on ventilator no sedation. How to lower breathing.

Female | 65

When patients are on the ventilators it is common to give them a sedation to keep them comforable and to give them a relief from the pain. In most instances,the sedation is not required and in a few cases,the sedation might even turn out to be harmful. Likewise, if a patient will be taking off the ventilator should be in co-operation with a pulmonologist or respiratory specialist who adjusts the setting of the ventilator or administers other treatments such as medication.

I m 24yrs female. From past 6month l, I have frequent cough and cold. Now I m feeling so weak. Also in past 1year I faint 3times. I m so worried. Why this happened to me? Currently I m feeling so weak. While standing or walking I had some vibration feeling in my head.

Female | 24

Weakness, frequent coughs and colds, and fainting can have various causes. These symptoms might indicate low iron levels in your blood, known as anemia. Feeling tired or light-headed are common sign of iron deficiency. You should eat iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and meat, drink plenty of water, and rest when needed. If these steps don't help after some time, seek medical advice as soon as possible, as it could be something serious that needs urgent attention.
