Can Painful Lungs While Suffering From Bronchial Spasm Be Treated With Nebulizer?
Age 19 height 6 '1 medical history : bronchial spasm.
Hello doctor, i was born with bronchial spasm and needed to use a nebulizer and get shots when i was small. when i moved to miami from argentina i never had one again. I smoked during high school, ad began to get chest pains when i sneezed and woke up with mucus since years ago. Recently my right lung started hurting when i walk and deep breathe. When i inhale and sometimes when i exhale. I got an x-ray done about 2 years ago and nothing showed up. But i know something is wrong with my lungs. When i walk i feel like someone is stepping on my lung. I do not cough at all!!
Any ideas on what it could be.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Smoking can worsen or aggravate childhood asthma.
So possibility of bronchospasm related chest pain is more likely.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). These are drugs are available in inhalers as well as Nebulization solution.
Better to quit smoking as soon as possible.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
