Hi everyone,

I have not been here for over year, I thought I would say hello.
For the most part, I have been feeling better having longer periods ( weeks) with minimal symptoms. Having said that, I still have the odd days when my symptoms are stronger/more active: air hunger and the inability to take a deep breath or yawn, at least it takes a few attempts until my lungs expand so that I can complete deep breaths or yawns. Over the last two years, I have undergone a number of exams: chest x-ray, lung function test (3 different kinds), lungs CT scan (lungs), and ENT; all came back normal.

A question for you:
Can you guys imagine a scenario that despite all those tests, which came back normal, my lungs/airways are still damaged? What I mean is that in my dark moments, I tend to have this idea (Paranoia?) that my lungs do have some damage/issues, it is just that the issues are not major enough for the tests to show them.

I also tend to blame myself for my SOB. When my symptoms started 2 years ago, they showed up right after I used a vape pen. I only had 3 puffs on that night (when my SOB started) and prior to that I vaped on 3-4 occasions (about 3 puffs per occasion). So once again, I had just been introduced to vaping a few weeks prior to my symptoms started ( a friend thought it could help my anxiety). I then got so terrified that I have never vaped again. So once again, I am not sure if those 4-5 occasions of vaping could be responsible for my SOB or it was just a coincidence, but when I feel down, I tend to think that I must have damaged my lungs even though the tests do not support that theory.
Thank you
