Q: Strange Tickling Sensation in the Lungs

asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 12th, 2006

For several months I have had this strange sensation in my lungs. And now it is getting more frequent and for a longer time. It was just as i layed down, now it is when i am doing things too.
Here it is--almost like a tickling feeling in my lungs.
Or sometimes like a hollow feeling. I know this sounds weird but can you help me at all. I am a little bit scared.

Unfortunately, a strange sensation in the lungs tells me nothing. According to your health history, I can tell you that you have an increased risk of experiencing lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, heart attack, brain stroke, and/or diabetes mellitus. So I recommend you try to stop smoking and control your weight with a healthy diet of fresh,organic foods.
