Help Possible lung problems???

[OopsIdidntwanttodie]

Does anyone else experience a "fluttering feeling" in your lungs/chest? Sometimes i'll be minding my business and suddenly it feels like air is wheezing out of my lungs. It doesn't happen all the time but I experience it enough to be worried. Could it be anxiety? Bad posture? Covid? Am I not breathing enough? I tried googling it but found nothing so I was wondering if I was the only one. I have only ever smoked weed 5 times my whole life, and even then they were just like 1-2 puffs offered by friends. I'm just curious I guess...

This is definitely a symptom of panic attacks, I think. I've gotten that feeling too before. I doubt smoking weed caused it so I wouldn't worry about that if I was you. Now dealing with panic attacks, I'm still figuring that one out. I mostly just pace and try to breath in through the nose and exhale through the mouth.

I get that too - for me, it's a symptom of my anxiety.

I get that, it could be a symptom of my silent acid reflux.

I think it might be it because I've been feeling food come back up recently

It feels like a frothy pressure being pushed out in my lungs/chest. Its frustrating because I can't explain it ughhh

Regurgitation is a symptom of gastritis or other tummy/oesophagus problems. Maybe go see your doctor and if your symptoms point to dyspepsia you might have to get an endoscopy to see what the cause is.

I've had one, it's over very quickly and you can be sedated. Nothing to worry about.

Hi maybe this ?

Laryngospasm: What causes it?​

Laryngospasm: What causes it?

Laryngospasm is a brief spasm of the vocal cords, which temporarily interrupts breathing.

This will sound strange but have you tried going through the motions of wretching/vomiting ?
I have a similar experience, to be clear i don't get anything treated because i'm trying to die but, the above helps
sometimes to knock things back into place if that makes sense.

It sounds really likely actually after reading the article you linked. I have to wonder if it's the same as what I feel though
