IGx docs: Aspiration?
I think I may have gotten a piece of grape into my lung. Felt like it was going down the wrong pipe, coughed like a mofo, but it felt like it went down not up. For whatever reason, right afterwards my biceps hurt.
That was almost 12 hours ago. I feel fine now but, psychoanalytically or otherwise, it still feels like something is "bothering" in my lower throat/chest. Just a nagging sensation, nothing acute.
Should I go to the emergency room after work for an x-ray, let it ride for a while, or what?

Too bad the "dead man walking" user name is already taken.

Re: IGx docs: Aspiration?
Andy, I need some combination of drugs, booze, ciggies and sex to make my lung, essentially, vomit. What have you tried and what works!?!

Re: IGx docs: Aspiration?
None of those things will make your lungs vomit. The only thing to do is have a surgeon remove your lungs.

Re: IGx docs: Aspiration?
Wow.
NOT MEDICAL ADVICE>>>>> if there is still discomfort this afternoon then get it checked out. By discomfort, I mean any sudden urges to cough, pain, tightness, feeling like you cannot catch your breath, etc.
I take it the offending piece of grape did not show itself again? Any increased mucus production or anything this morning?

Shooting grapes off Shape's ass seemed like a good idea at the time I bet....

Re: IGx docs: Aspiration?
Andy, you were my last best chance. If you can't get a lung to convulse no one can.
Turd, shouldn't you be praying for me? I don't know why you didn't stick with Voodoo for your religion.

So that was noon, Thursday (eastern time, anyway). Feeling short of breath just sitting around without exertion or with minimal activity - go to ER. Otherwise, primary care physician within the week. Or, if symptoms resolve, ignore.

Re: IGx docs: Aspiration?
Thud, the only thing that keeps my lungs strong enough to defend against a grape trying to get in there is smoking non filter cigarettes. That grape never would have lasted one second in there.

Re: IGx docs: Aspiration?
Thud, what's the status of your grape lungs? You got the cancer yet?
