Question 1

cold air + lungs = coughing and chest pain. what is wrong with my lungs?

Accepted Answer

Could be: A variant of reactive airway disease.

Question 2

i have anxiety how can i get cold air to filter through my lungs?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety/cold air: To "filter cold air" through your lungs, you would need to breathe in cold air.  If you have difficulty with anxiety, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist can help you.  Good treatment is available.

Question 3

why is it that my lungs hurt when i breathe in cold air?

Accepted Answer

EXPANSION: The cold air expands in your lungs when it heats up. Try breathing through your nose. Remember to tell your doctor about this so he / she can measure your lung capacity, have a listen and check a few other things.

Question 4

breathing in the cold air hurts my lungs a lot (makes me feel like puking). is there a way to lessen the pain?

Accepted Answer

Cold air: It's not abnormal for cold air to cause spasms in the lung airways, making it harder to breathe.  Cold air can dry out your lungs, and make them 'cold too.'  breathing through your nose will help, and at times, some people may have an asthma event triggered and those patients will benefit from an inhaler to use 15 minutes prior to going out to exercise in the cold. Good luck to you.

Question 5

not feeling like i'm getting cold air in my lungs went to hospital they say oxygen is 100% can hypnosis help get cold air thru my lungs?

Accepted Answer

Hypnosis/Cold Air?: In order to get cold air into your lungs, the air you breathe would need to be cold. This sounds important to you.  Hypnosis can help you relax, and possibly help you breathe easier.  It seems that anxiety may be at least part of what you're experiencing.  Please see a psychiatrist or therapist to help with your anxiety.  Some also do hypnosis.  You can find hypnotists here: http://www.Asch.Net/.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Yes: Only you can really answer that.  If it makes you feel better, then sure, it makes you feel better.

Question 7

i have been feeling like i am inhaling cold air for a week now in my lungs/chest. when i breathe in really deep, i need to cough. no other pain. ?

Accepted Answer

Cough on inhaling: May be  reactive airways/asthma. You indicate it is like breathing cold air ,which is a form of ashtma called cold induced asthma . May be  allergy induced asthma. Would follow up with PFTs and pulmonary doctor. You may benefit from an inhaler. May also be related to gastritis or acid reflux causing reactive airways so can try ranitidine/ prevecid and see if helps.  f/u w/ doc

Question 8

i have a pain on the left side of my stomach, just below the lung. it gets worse when im in a cold room, breathe in cold air orwhen i take cold water?

Accepted Answer

Unusual pain: Causes of discomfort in that area of the body can come from the rib cage, diaphragm, base of left lung,spleen or colon where it takes a 90 degree turn at the splenic flexure. The relationship with breathing in cold air could point to some degree of diaphragm reactivity. If symptoms persist have your physician palpate the left upper quadrant of your abdomen and examine your left lung.

Question 9

why does my heart/left lung hurt when i breathe out. just a very slight pain 1-10 i would rate it a 1.5 it also happens run in winter it feels like its the cold air but now it hurt without running. also i would sometime force multiple burps out?

Accepted Answer

Chest symptoms : You mention several things. All of which are best evaluated by a doctor in person. I wish I could address your concern but the information provided is too varied and lacks the needed objective findings from a physical examination to come to a conclusion.

Question 10

congestion thick mucus chills stuffy nose cough feels like there is cold air in my lungs every time i breath. been like this for 2 weeks is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Cold persistent : You cold has been persistent for 2 weeks and it involves breathing.  I think you should see your family doctor of the one how prescribes the humilin for you if you can see them .  I think you need a chest X-ray .  If you are coughing colored secretions, you will need antibiotics.  See the doctor on Monday or Tuesday.  You will be feeling better by the first of the year.  Good luck and feel better!
