A new type of breathless cough has been arresting me when I smoke

  1. So, I've been a smoker for about 11 years, 8 or 9 of them I've been a daily smoker. I smoked tobacco for 10 years but quit a year and a half ago. So, that should tell you I'm pretty familiar with different cough-inducing sensations.
    Now the most common complaint about coughing, in relation to cannabis, is that big deep, milky i-went-way-too-hard hit that you instantly recoil from. Sometimes this is just a big rip, sometimes it's a dirty bong, or a GB. It can tastes bitter, you exhale coughing, you sometimes start hacking so hard you accidentally heave and spit up. That sucks but that's basically you're own fault, human error type jazz. (Btw I'm really high)
    The fits I'm now worried about are a somewhat recent development, within the last year. I hit my bong, its a big but manageable hit from a reasonably clean bong, sometimes ice sometimes not. I exhale. Maybe a second or two goes by, I cough. Then suddenly my brain/body screams FUCK and the hacking and coughing is kind of there but mostly I can't fucking breathe so I can hardly even cough. It's like my lungs don't fill up all the way. All I can do is writhe on the floor, gasping, my head is spinning, I'm sweating to the point where I have to strip down to cool off, and I cannot see straight (blurry tunnel vision).
    Now i have taken measures. I've actually managed to somehow mind-over-matter my lungs and focus on taking deep breaths (yeah, it takes a lot of practice to stop a coughing fit) and it didn't even work! I sat on my floor, in an upright position, focused on not coughing and just getting more oxygen by trying to breathe deeply and I can't. I don't know how long this lasts, because I don't time my bong hits and when it finally passes I am RIPPED ridiculous. I think it's 5-20 minutes. It's terrifying. is this adult onset asthma? Am I allergic?! I can't quit because it's the only thing that helps with a certain disorder I have. My doctors tend to roll their eyes and tell me to quit smoking but I really can't. Anybody have an idea on what I can look for or ask about? What may be the issue? I mean, I have panic attacks and they're similar but its not that. Even when i manage to be perfectly calm and at peace, still; lungs won't fill, sweaty hot flashes, spinning, tunnel vision.
    Sorry I wrote a book.
    I know it's less likely to be read now.
    But fuck it, I'm articulate.

  2. Sometimes I cough sometimes I don’t like now I’ve just had a joint and my throat is really tickly most times I’m fine
     
  3. your throat probably dry you should drink a lot of soda or juice that should help you
     
  4. Sigh. No. This is not something normal that happens like smoking a joint. It's not my throat, it's not water, my lungs don't fill up.

    It's always the posts you think are going to be serious that turn out funny. Whooda thunk smoking would be bad for you... anyway what about vaping have you tried that?

    And congrats on quitting the cancer sticks. I'm 1 yr off them myself.
