Shortness of breath

2024-02-26 11:06:28
I've been a smoker on & off for past 9 years and a regular one from last 1 year. I've decided to quit this habit and finally taking steps towards it. Lately I experienced mild shortness of breath and heavy chest after smoking a cigarette. It's causing me too much anxiety as well. So much so that it's hampering my day to day work. I haven't smoked for 2 days today. Please guide.
