How To Get Rid Of Crystal Meth Smoking Mediated Breath Shortness?

Okay. So I smoked crystal meth for the first time Friday and after smoking it I had problems like not being able to catch my breath and get a full breath of oxygen in my lungs and I was wondering how long is it going to take to go away or if it will be like this permanently. Thanks.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you are having inhalation smoke induced bronchitis.
Any form of smoke when inhaled can cause irritation, inflammation and this can cause bronchitis and breathing difficulty.
So I advice you to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
It will also tell you about severity of the disease.
And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamines drugs.
You will mostly improved in 7 - 8 days.
I find this answer helpful
