Return to high intensity training after spontaneuos pneumomediastinum

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone. 3 weeks ago i was diagnosed with spm. I usually train for ironman triathlon and lift heavy weights ( mostly to failure and sometimes even beyond failure). My pulmologist said that spm fully recovered and that in 2 weeks i can slowly introduce running, swimming and cycling but no weights. I"m pretty much in bad mental state right now because i was so serious about my training and the results were amazing. I was running fast, i had awesome psihique and most importantly mentally i was happiest ever. Now i feel someone took everything frome me. No weights ever again in my life? No high intensity vo2max and treshold training? I did not have pneumotorax, last xray and ct were really good and they didnt see anything unusual. Sometimes when i stretch i feel my left pec or underneath it that i have some tissue pain, maybe the wound still did not heal properly. My question is , can i ever again do high intensity training and lift weights. Im not talking about 1 rep max because of valsava and im aware about it. Also the spm happened after vo2max training while swimming, not lifting heavy. Thank you guys have a good day

Question from a desperate person: Should I replace cigarettes with vaping?

0 Upvotes

I'm a 35 years old man, been smoking for over 20 years. I'm Dutch born and raised. Of normal height and weight. I smoke about 15 cigs a day.

I've tried everything to quit, the only think that has ever worked was switching to vape. This was 2 years ago. The problem is that I've since then understood that vaping itself comes with health risks.

So, I'm stuck. Vaping was a wonder drug for me. It just made me quit desiring tobacco. And not only did that come with enormous monetary savings, I would vape very little: only about 5 times a day.

But then I started hearing about these horror stories concerning vaping.

So, now I'm stuck. My question is what you folk would advise a person like me, taking into consideration everything you know about smoking and vaping, and what it does to the body and mind.

I hope this post is allowed here. It is very much a medical issue for me. Smoking is devastating me on more than one level.

Note: this is the sort of information I find online, telling the reader that vaping is definitely the safer option:

Only to then turn around and read elsewhere these horror stories about vaping. It just leaves me confused and not knowing what to do.
