Chest hurts after hookah pen?
I will be 16 in two months, female, and from the US.
So, my friend got a hookah pen yesterday. I am familiar with them and have used them a few times, but I never had any problems after.
All of them that I've tried have been nicotine free, and I did use them only occasionally over the summer and maybe once or twice since then considering I don't own one myself.
But my friends boyfriend got her one for their anniversary and she was really excited about it. This was at about 3:00pm yesterday. I used it probably about 4 times in the next hour(when she left), but I was trying to do tricks. I can't remember for sure, but I don't think my chest hurt then.
My friend came over again around 7:30-8:00ish and she was teaching me some other tricks. I did it a few more times and she left around 9:00.
I don't know when for sure my chest started to hurt. But I really started to notice it last night after she left. It's not so much as it hurts, it's just uncomfortable feeling. Almost like there's a weight on my chest, or something pushing on it. And today at least, I only feel it when I breath deeply or move certain ways.
[I don't know if this could have anything to do with it, but the night before I slept in a really small chair and after I woke up my right foot was half numb for hours after.]
My mom (who doesn't know about the hookah pen) thinks it could be that I caught Pneumonia from my rabbit who died from it a few weeks back. Which I'm honestly worried about since I was cleaning some of his stuff the other day.
I'm not sure... any input would be GREATLY appreciated.

All we can do is guess as you've been doing but I suppose you want solid answers. For that, you'd need to see a Dr. There are many reasons why a person might have the symptoms you have, that have nothing to do with pot or hooka's. When you see the family doctor make sure they've told you your rights under Hippa laws. This means anything you truthfully tell the Dr. about all the things you've done leading up to the problem, including hooka use will be kept confidential so parents won't be told.
Sleeping cramped and badly can tighten certain muscles. Too many curl in their upper body, caving in on and tightening the chest. All can benefit from stretches or yoga that expands the chest muscles. This might bring some relief. But its better to be safe than sorry if you are in the beginning stages of a chest infection, it's that time of year afterall.
