After a year, a woman who had given up smoking and started vaping for health reasons was “left on her dead bed.”
Loyda Cordero Faliero started vaping “24/7” and was “proud” of her decision to stop smoking cigarettes after twenty years.
When the 39-year-old was taken to the hospital at the beginning of March, she had been using vapes for “just over a year.”
The New Yorker’s oesophagus “closed up” when she choked on a drink, and physicians determined that she had pulmonary bullae, or huge air spaces, in her lungs.
Additionally, they discovered that Loyda had a collapsed lung, which she was informed was caused by fluid buildup from vaping.
“The pulmonary bullae sac is pressing on my oesophagus, which is out of position. If that ruptures, it could cause internal bleeding or a brain bleed, which could kill me instantly,” the American woman added.
