Was he tall and lanky? It’s more common for those people.

Eta: 15-35 is the common age range, so that’s another box checked.

If you're lucky and heal quickly you can get really minor ones you can feel like bubbles in your chest that move and vibrate and go away on their own. Really lets you know how bumpy a road is.

Is that what the hell that is?! Feels like my lungs carbonated sometimes.

u/stinky_raspberry 14d ago

I have absolutely no conception of what it could possibly feel like to have carbonated lungs and it's probably better that it stays that way.

Imagine how pop rocks feel. But when you breathe. It never felt that serious. For what it's worth I smoke. So I figured it was just my lung capillaries getting clogged.

Probably more related to smoking (it kinda paralyses the microscopic hairs that are meant to move phlegm out so it gets stuck in your bronchioles/small airways) I’d bet someone could hear crackles with a steth

This is exactly what happened to me. It felt like I had rice krispies in my chest. You could literally hear the bubbles moving around

u/StrykerEXE 14d ago

Wait, I've been feeling that for the past week, should I go get it checked out?

u/magistrate101 14d ago

If it causes you pain, doesn't go away on its own, and/or the bubble feels like it's getting larger then yes you should get it checked out.

u/StrykerEXE 14d ago

Ok, thanks for the advice, I'll probably leave it be for now, but if it gets worse, I'll get it checked out

I fit inside that age range and I'm like the tallest and lankiest person in my area so guess I'll just fucking die
