Exercise after quitting smoking
I've recently quit smoking after 9 years on & off smoking. I want to get back to exercise.
I can walk for a pretty long time with mild shortness of breath and coughing afterwards.
But I want to get back to running as I used to do earlier. I did try but my heartbeat increased much and could not hold on for much longer. Should I wait or start doing it and increase gradually?
