A member asked:
Quit vaping days ago. noticed a chest crackling/sting alternating from my center chest and lower left ribcage.gets worse with exercise/standing (2-3/10 pain level). bp: 118/73,blood oxygen: 96% is this feeling likely an emergency or just withdrawal?

This could represent some inflammation in your chest due to the residual vaping effects. If it continues more than 24-48 hours, or if it worsens or you become short of breath, then you should get it checked. If you become short of breath, you should get checked in an urgent care or emergency room. Good luck and congrats on quitting vaping!
