Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 years old. Four days ago I started to hear a silent wheezing sound when breathing nothing that was actually serious or annoying it just kind of was there. And so I sort of stayed the same until one day ago because yesterday I vaped for the very first time in my life (something around like 200 puffs now in total) and so now after these vape "sessions" I had I realized that the wheezing got worse and louder also it started to get annoying like scratching in my throat and coughing, also sometimes, rarely I experience a sharp pain in my chest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I read your query and understand your concern. I can provide some general information. It is important to note that vaping can have potential health risks, especially for individuals who are underage. If you are experiencing symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and chest pain after vaping, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. Wheezing is often associated with airway inflammation or narrowing, which can be caused by various factors, including respiratory infections, allergies, asthma, or even vaping-related lung injury. The fact that your wheezing has worsened and you're experiencing other symptoms after vaping is concerning and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Coughing and a scratching sensation in the throat can also be signs of irritation or inflammation in the airways. Chest pain can have multiple causes, including muscle strain, inflammation, or even more serious conditions like pneumonia or pneumothorax. It is important to have a healthcare professional assess your symptoms to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.

Given your age and the potential risks associated with vaping, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. Be open and honest with your healthcare provider about your vaping history and any symptoms you are experiencing. They will be able to evaluate your specific situation, potentially order tests or imaging studies, and provide appropriate guidance and treatment. You can take nebulization with Budecort and Duolin for some relief. Nebulization is a method of delivering medication directly to the lungs using a nebulizer machine. Budecort (Budesonide) and Duolin (a combination of Ipratropium Bromide and Salbutamol) are both commonly used medications for respiratory conditions such as wheezing. I hope I have answered your query.

Thank you.
