I'd just finally like an answer to this problem, even if it means surgery
by zorpnic, Sep 10, 2009 05:04AM
First things first: I'm 27, in a very complicated loving relationship, and work from home. I'm mostly sedentary. Exercise maybe 2x a week, mostly occupying a computer station everyday, but occasionally try to get out and take at least a small walk. I take Invega 9mg, Congentin 0.5mg, 300mg of Wellbutrin daily, along with a daily vitamin.
I've been feeling like a truck was about to hit me for the longest time. I've recently been having detached feelings, and anxiety attacks right before I go to bed. A lot has happened lately. Stress is up. Nothing is going right, and I feel like my life is slipping out of my hands.
And now for the random, but relevant:
I'm a smoker. I smoke half a pack a day or more, but no more than three quarters of a pack a day, if ever I smoke a pack. Even then, it feels like when I smoke so much, I'm running out of breath. I get head swells, dizziness, disorientation, and rarely have pain in my lower body. Sometimes my feet, but mostly, I have numbness/pain that jumps from one side of my lungs, to the other, and sometimes centers in my chest, and it feels numb, like I don't have a heartbeat. I'm coughing heavily, and sometimes they're rough. I cough up a lot of phlegm that's usually green, yellowish, sometimes white with specks, and only once after having a tooth pulled have I ever coughed up blood, so I highly doubt, at least for now, that anything serious is going on. I'm also a light pot smoker. Seldom, I find myself in such a circle, and don't deny it. I balance that out with a lot of N/A drinks. I drink a lot of water and Tang, because most of the time I have a very dry mouth or throat. That's giving me a feeling like I need to take a nice, long drink, along with a walk. Sometimes I can walk. Sometimes I can't. It would be better if I could.
I've been trying for a very long time to get more exercise, generally. Just recently I got weights, which won't help my heart or breathing strength if I don't have the lung capacity for lifting weights. Does this forum have any suggestions that could direct me toward the ultimate situation I've got going on? I think it's pneumonia, but it could very well be bulla(e).

Thus you should check with your doctor before you increase any excerise to make sure you don't have COPD or empysema which are very serious conditions.
Your ability to excerise would greatly improve after the decision and work to quit smoking. Also make sure you are eating healthy and sleeping well, both of these will help your body as well.
