Severe stinging pain in left lung when inhaling/exhaling.

This has been worrying the fuck out of me all day. Since about 6 hours ago, I've been getting this really intense stinging pain during every breath I take. It hurts even worse when I take deep breaths.
I'm not sure what exactly is causing the pain, but it feels like it's either my left lung, heart, stomach, or maybe even the left side of my liver. I thought maybe it was acid reflux at first, but I ate a couple Tums Extra Strength an hour ago with no relief whatsoever.
Things you should probably know: I've recently started smoking cigarettes a week ago (1 or 2 a day), and smoke pot up to 3 times a day, almost every day for the past month. Also, earlier today I took (ate) about 40mgs of Adderall, then another 20mgs a couple hours later. But I don't see how the Adderall could have caused this.
I'm thinking it's either from so much smoking, or I've gottan fluids into my lung somehow (that's what it feels like).
Does anyone know what could cause this?? Am I gonna die??

uhm, you might want to get a check up. might jsut be an amonia or whatever, fluids in the lung. but that can get pretty bad....

I wouldn't fuck around with waiting to see what happens with these symptoms...I'd see a doctor.

this was in the physical and mental wellbeing forum not too long ago. the main post doesnt sound like what you have, but your symptoms are mentioned later by others. might wanna read through it. but a check up is always the safest

Yeah, I'm gonna quit smoking cigs for a few days and see if I get better. I would go to the doctor but I currently have no health insurance, so that'd cost me a good $100.

I have no cough, no sneezing, no runny nose, I don't think I have a fever. I feel normal other than the breathing pains.

My doctor visits WITH insurance usually run me about $25. But without, I'm looking at paying anywhere between $55 to $125, depending on if they do a throat culture or any of those overly-expensive simple procedures that cost them less than a dollar.
I'd rather slowly die alone than have to pay a doctor all the money I've got just so they can tell me I'm dying.... or tell me I have a serious disease that is 100% curable, but costs 50 grand. Fuck that. I'll take my chances.

Oh btw, the pain has subsided for the most part. I can tell it's quickly going away now. I took another Tums-EX and a Pepcid tablet, then chewed and swallowed 2mgs of Klonopin.
So the pain was either acid reflux, or anxiety.  Guess I'll never know.

dude go to the fucking ER..... they can't charge you (i think anyway)
it might take a while but it works.
Anyway, you gotta quit smoking the pot too..... it's just as bad really, except it doesn't have all the added nasty evil chemicals... but it still has plenty of carcinogens.....

You could be catching a cold, and all your smoking is just making it worse. Try laying off of that for a while and see if it improves.

I've had the exact same thing happen to me before.. In time it stopped bothering me. I always thought it had something to do with smoking.

I think the Adderall increased the acids in my stomach and caused severe heart burn, maybe an ulcer. Could a heart burn cause breathing to be painful?

i get that too sometimes. i just thought it was tissue folded over itself. when you inhale all the way, it 'unfolds' and the pain abruptly stops.
