I am a smoker. about 3/4 a pack a day. Please, no lecture on quiting- I’ve already planned quiting (sounds silly but I had to do my homework and be prepared)
I’m reasonablly alarmed because I feel like I cant use the “bottom part” of my lungs. It feels like I am trying to YAWN, but I CANT. I just dont feel satiated when I try to fill up with air.
I keep taking deep breaths to help the situation but it doesnt make it any better, I feel a little panicky I'm not getting a full breath. I used an inhaler with seemed to make my lungs feel more relaxed, but it didnt last very long.
I am also wondering what emphasyma is and hat it feels like. I dont know that this is what that is but I am curious about emphasyma either way.
I am 20 years old, female, and not very active. I’ve smoked 1.5 years, and DO NOT have asmtha.
Answer:
Emphysema is a serious and chronic disease that cannot be reversed and long term is fatal.
The symptoms often include shortness of breath and the feeling of not being able to breathe. The severity of the emphysema symptoms depends on how much of the lung has been destroyed.
With you not having asthma, I think you should visit your doctor and get a referral to a specialist as soon as you can.
Answer:
Where did the inhalor come from if you don't have asthma? Btw, my friend smoked. A chest xray found she had a spot on her lung when she was 21. The docs said she would have emphazima by 25 and be on oxygen by 30. She quit that day. She still has a spot on her lung, and mild asthma. however, she's 37 and NOT on oxygen
