Shortness of breath.
Can sudden break from cigarettes cause shortness of breath ?
I have been smoking 10 cigarettes per day, but have stopped smoking in fear of COVID-19 sing 13th jul (7 days now).
It is worse when I wake up, but gradually it becomes fine but not normal.
Is it anxiety ? Is it COVID ? or is it due to smoke?
It's good you stopped smoking.
It's better to know how long you have been smoking.
