yea dont ask us about health problems, we are pry the worst people to ask. Just stick a turbo in your nose and an intercooler in your ass, you will feel better.

nothing but beer and weed. i have never taken anitistamines as i have never has allergy problems

Re: collapsed/punchured lung????
 

Yeah, I've had some on-again off-again pleuritic condition since I was a little kid. All of a sudden it hurts to breathe in, say, X amount. So I slowly force myself to breathe in X+1 amount... now it doesn't hurt to breathe up to X+1 amount, so I force myself to breathe X+2, etc, until the pain goes away.

Doctors don't really care to hear about it. I think they want me to die.

Re: collapsed/punchured lung????
 

you described my problem exactly. when i start to breat in its fine, but once i get to the point that my chest starts expanding it feels like the ere is a knife thats trying to poke out through my sternum

Re: collapsed/punchured lung????
 

go get some bloodwork done. You might have high cholesterol. Do you eat a lot of fried food/fast food? You definitely should seea dr. though. I get chest pains when I breathe in too. But its pretty rare when it happens. I do what joseph does until it goes away. Havent had that pain in several months though.

btw: the antihistamine ? was directed at the other guy with allergies...

Re: collapsed/punchured lung????
 

i dont eat healthy at all. but lately i havent been able to eat anything without feeling like i have to hurl :-X

Re: collapsed/punchured lung????
 

where is your pain exactly? is it right where the ribs meet up with the sternum?

I hate giving out medical advice over the net... just go see a damn doctor. Go to the "Urgent Care Center" or the local ER. Better to walk into the ER now than being carried into the ER later.

GO SEE A DOCTOR, I had my lungs colapse three times, left side twice and right side once. Its called spontanious pneumothorax, it happens with out having to have any accidents or anything like that.

Re: collapsed/punchured lung????
 

its behind my sternum. it feels like something is trying to poke through when i take deep breaths. which i have to do often because of my shortness of breath
