Why Are My Lungs Hurt?
My lungs hurt and I feel terrible (fatigued & sick) when I wake up each day, after having moved to a new apartment in a new city. I feel okay once I get outside and exercise for a few hours. Could it be mold or allergens or CO or what? I am 41, 5'9", and seem to have a very sensitive system. Used to get colds and bronchitis a lot. Smoked for 10 years, but haven't smoked for last 15 years. Am extremely health conscious nowadays, in order to deal with arthritis and multiple physical injuries.

Hello
Thank you for asking.
So i need some more information regarding with your concerns.
Do you have cough or dispnea in efforts?Since you have smoked for 10 years and you explain that you used to get colds and bronchitis a lot it would be better to do some further tests as: Chest X Ray,Spirometry and CRP.
And if the are normal you can do Prick test to rule out allergy problems.
Thank you
Wish you good health
