Lung Rx


84.1 Kilos

I got an Ex ray of my lungs. There is some permanent damage to my lungs this explains some of the pain I have from my chest and occasional coughing (early stages of chronic emphysema and bronchitis). Of course this comes as no surprise after over 40 years of smoking. Although much of the damage cannot be reversed, quitting smoking has saved me from more severe condition.

The moral of the story, the earlier you quit the better it is.

  1. Sorry to hear about your lungs! Great job quitting smoking, very proud of you! Yes the earlier you quit the better. I will take your advise to heart. I am 28 and on day 2 of my quit! Ive smoked since I was 15 so it is now or never, if I want to stop the damage and maybe reverse it. So again sorry about your damaged lungs,but because you posted this you made an impact on me and helped me realize how important it is to quit.
