i figured id give it a try here....... HOPING SOMEONE knows whats going on or has the same
i've been a heavy smoker for many years...... and i've had a couple of nights where i really abused the smoking and drinking and i think my many years + those few nights of literally cigarette after cigarette really fucked something up in my lungs...
i haven't smoked in 2 months.. but i'm still suffering..
sypmtoms are alot of phlegm, i'm constantly making crazy cough noises and just difficult in the breathing...since i dont have health insurance at this time i went to ER and told them it was an emergency and they did an x-ray and checked out some other shits, told me i have perfect breathing, lungs look good
and gave me a prescreipt for the white asthma inhaler thing.......
that inhaler doesnt work at all...and i've tried all the nyquils and other over the counters.....
internet research tells me it might be chronic bronchitis or COPD.......
my 2 options are either paying $500 at a private doctors office with a risk of him telling me the same thing ER did...or
going the actupuncture route which is also many sessions and alot of $$$ and i don't know which one will work....again, my symptoms are alot of phlegm, can't smoke grass or a cigarette, can't drink red wine or beer
my chest gets all congested and horrible especially after sex and waking up..

no offense at all man, cause i feel your pain, and i realize you are reaching out here for some help, but every post you make makes it seem like you and or your family has a shit ton of money, so is money a real issue ?........if you are as financially set as it looks, then don't fudge it.......spend what you need to, to make sure you end up healthy ! good luck, and also, don't knock herbal remedies, and herbal steams.....it might even help to sit in a sauna with certain herbs in the steam with you

firstly, wtf is this about paying $500 for a doctors vist. is it a celebrity doctor or sommat.
I have had bronhitis since i was a child and am growing out of if but smoking doesn't help. only use your inhaler when you have to. they weaken your lungs over time. If you have a phlegm problem by a €2.50 bottle of decongestant (not cough mixture) from the pharmacy or get something like olbas oil.
when i was younger i used to get a big bowl of boiling water. pour in some olbas oil and then put a towel over my head and the bowl and breath the steam for like 10-20 mins.
that should help get rid of some of the shit lining your lungs.

Its totally normal for your lungs to feel like that even though you have not smoked for 2 months. I quit smoking after 13 years only to start again for 4 more. Both times i quit it tooks several months for my lungs to work it out. You will go through at least 6 months of feeling in worse health than when you smoked (lung wise).
Give your lungs time to recover

after the 6 months will i be able to smoke again?
rand thank you very much for this find

I developed permanent chronic bronchial asthma because I didn't have insurance and waited too long.
You say you are based in NY, I went to a good pulmonologist in the Upper East Side (or West?), his name was Dr. Posner. he was the first doc who actually helped me on a long term basis. think his office was in the 80's or 90's

why would you want to smoke again after 6 months and finally feeling healthy again??
MORON...

if you were a heavy smoker for a long time - chance are it's just your body trying rid itself of all the last reminents of the unhealthy habit
on a positive note - you can take advantage of this incident
the important thing here dddc is to really try and take advantage of how shitty you feel in terms of never smoking again
when your smoking and feel fine ... what's another cig but man isn't it the worst feeling when you know something just isn't right physically... scary really
use this fear to never smoke again. sounds easy now that you are ill but 6 months from now when your feeling fine and having a few drinks and a smoke is looking pretty tasty.. reflect back on how you feel now

thanks for the replies....

man, i'm going thru the same shit right now. haven't smoked in 10 days and don't really want one. i called my doc today to get some meds/antibiotics. i'm thinking mine is a mix of bronchitis/getting smoke out of my lungs. but it is scary shit.
hope the meds do the job cause chronic would f-ing suck. plus all this coughing, wheezing, pleghm crap is getting really annoying. hope you start feeling better dddc, cause i sure hope i do.
i might try that breathing steam herb stuff. that sounds good just to clear my lungs of all the junk that's on them.
