Why does my chest hurt after inhaling helium?

My chest in pain after inhaled helium balloon after 6 hours ago

1 Answer
Dr. Shweta Bansal

Pulmonologist

Answered on 1st Apr '25

It’s understandable to be concerned about discomfort in your chest after inhaling helium from a balloon. This sensation could be due to irritation of the airways or muscles from the act itself. While mild symptoms might resolve on their own, it’s essential to monitor for any worsening pain, shortness of breath, or other unusual signs. Staying calm and resting can help. If discomfort persists or if you experience any alarming symptoms, please consider consulting a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation.

It is possible that you may have an underlying respiratory condition such as asthma or COPD that is causing your symptoms. You should see a doctor for a more thorough evaluation and to discuss treatment options. It is also possible that your symptoms could be caused by allergies or other environmental triggers. An allergist or pulmonologist can help you identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop an effective treatment plan.

Female | 55

You are not doing so well with your breathing, particularly when you are lying down or doing activities. These symptoms can be the result of, for example, heart problems or lung problems. Sometimes, conditions as heart failure or asthma might be the reason for this. A doctor's visit is the most reliable way to get the right diagnosis and treatment.

Night sleep breathing problem

Male | 42

A persistent cough and runny nose could indicate whooping cough, especially if your baby recently had a fever and took antibiotics. Whooping cough is a contagious respiratory infection that causes severe coughing fits. Make sure your child rests, drinks plenty of water, and uses a cool-mist humidifier to ease the cough. Monitor their condition and contact their doctor if you have further concerns.

Male | 18

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infection that mainly affects the lungs. Symptoms include coughing, chest pain, weight loss, and fatigue. TB is a contagious disease that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Your uncle should stay in his room until he finishes his treatment, as TB can spread to others. To prevent this, certain measures should be followed. It's important to follow your doctor’s advice to protect both yourself and your uncle.
