Why am I wheezing after breast augmentation?

Question

I had breast aug. 15 months ago. I felt a slight spasm on 1 side after a few months. My dr said it could be a low grade of capsular contracture and put on asthma medication for 2m. She's been checking up on me since. The breasts are not hard but I've recently noticed that I wheeze. I do smoke marjiuana and if I take a lot I begin wheezing and more recently when I excercise. It is very cold outside so it could be the weather. Im not sure if this would be related to my BA or all the other factors.

Thanks for your inquiry, it is unlikely your implant is related-I suggest you see your primary doctor and good luck.

You might have asthma. This is not related to your breast implants. Exercise, exposure to cold weather, and smoke (irritants) exposure can trigger asthma. You should speak to a lung specialist and strongly consider stopping your smoke exposure.Best of luck,Dr. ALDO

Hi there, Thank you for your question. Considering you have checked in with your surgeon you may want to have a assessment with your family Dr. That way you can have all your systems examined. Best, realdrsix
