Chest pain (maybe caused by vaping?)

[Dillan10]

So I’ve been vaping since I was a sophomore in hs now I’m a sophomore in college I vape with nicotine and I’ve noticed if I vape too much sometimes my chest hurts. I recently bought a back of vapes and they suck. I have to hit 2 vapes at once to get my nicotine (yes I know I need to quit and I’m actually going to try to quit after this pack is over) but anyways. If I lay on my stomach with my elbows on my bed my chest hurts if I lean back a little my chest hurts if I stand straight up my chest hurts and I’ve been getting this pain in my right side of my ribs sometimes if I breathe in too hard it’s a sharp stabbing pain that lasts between 5-30 minutes then it’s gone. Is this linked to vaping or is it something else!

Gotta be super careful with vaping re:popcorn lung.If it was me,id ask my doc for chest xray n complete cbc to check my lungs n whats happening if anything in my blood.

I have a appointment coming up but what is a CBC??

[Hidden in reply to Dillan10]

CBC..complete blood count..checks levels of bunch of stuff in ur body..general normal test.If that all looks good (xray n blood) they probably will send ya to a cardiologist to follow up.

Oh okay and well I stopped using the vapes I was talking about in my post and my chest pain has nearly gone away
