Hi @nathank, do keep us updated on your progress! Besides the vaping, do you recall any instances of doing something that could correlate with the start of your air hunger?

It sounds like it's in the beginning stages for you so you probably are looking into what tests you can get done. Hopefully you're starting to work closely with you primary care physician who can help refer you to specialists to get tests done to start ruling things out.

I've not heard or read much about vaping and withdrawl symptoms, but if withdrawl symptoms last a few weeks, there's a chance the breathing issue will go away or improve slowly over time.

Not knowing what's going on can certainly exacerbate any anxiety from either withdrawls or the air hunger itself, so working on the mental aspect while you're going through this will definitely help. I suggest calming breathing exercises and ways to deal with the anxiety which in turn, you might find that your breathing improves. They Buteyko Breathing Method is what has helped me deal with the various symptoms, but starting with any kind of calming breathing exercises would give you a good start. Keep us updated on your progress!
