I tried a vape and am freaking out wtfff

Basically, I was at my friends house like I mentioned in my previous post and there u tried a vape!!! When I tried it wasn’t too bad..just minty air and nothing that crazy. I’ve strong cigarettes (my parents let me try them) and specifically the red malboro ones when I was around 8-9 so I didn’t know it’s be so not bitter… that’s not the main pong tho A little bit after that I wanted to do it again (this was around the time I had to leave) and was testing hot chips and soda with it as well. Soon enough though I started to get a pain in the chest and also difficulties with breathing. I’m scared that it was because of the vape but since I’ve tried stronger ones when I was younger and nothing happened to me that cut off by respiratory system I think it was the soda and chips because my stomach was also bloated I’m still a teen though since I’m 13. I did my research and found out that vapes can give permanent damage to your lungs and I’m scared of that.. I drank a pill to help my stomach but it’s not working too much right now and I’m scared that the vape cut off my throat and now everything is stuck in my stomach…though I don’t feel my throat irritated..it burns very little. So that’s why I’m staying up all night because I’m scared of dying in my sleep from not getting enough air…here’s a picture of my Russia (iykyk🥹) with the vape that I made for fun at my friends house lolll

Can u talk to your parents about it? How long have you been having shortness of breath or difficulty breathing and pain in your chest? Unless you do this all the time and your therapist has suggested otherwise well even then maybe I’m saying I would suggest you seek medical attention. Difficulty breathing and chest pain can be true signs of health concerns and worst thing that can happen is you’re sent home and you can explain to them there that you have OCD if you do and things around that too.

@Soliel If you’re still having chest pain and difficulty breathing u need to go to your local emergency room.

Hi! This sounds a bit anxiety induced as when I’m anxious it feels like I have a hard time breathing too and my body makes up symptoms, ofc if symptoms worsen check in with your family but also vaping is just not gonna be good for you no matter what! It could just be your body telling you it doesn’t like it. Take care!

Probably a combination of the vape not going down the right way and anxiety. Anxiety can do really weird things to your body without you realizing it—I used to get what I thought were heart palpitations and went to the hospital at least twice for it. Both times it was not in fact heart palpitations, just bad anxiety. I’ve also had a vape that’s too strong and thrown up before. I smoke cigarettes on occasion and the anxiety of ‘well, seems like the cancer is here now because my throat feels sore’ is real Most likely you are fine. If you continue to experience issues over the course of days, go to a doctor. You should prob quit vaping tho. And I should quit smoking lol
