So I've been vaping for around 2 years now and have had no health issues with it at all. However, as of two days ago, every time I vape I get shortness of breath and a very unpleasant feeling of tightness in my chest. I also get very light headed (completely different to the feeling of a nicotine buzz; I feel as if I am about to faint).
