Shortness of breath

2020-06-22 14:57:35
Yesterday late night, while going to sleep, I felt as if I was unable to breathe, literally gasping for air.I was forcibly trying to inhale as there was a strange sensation in the entire body due to lack of air. Yesterday I did not have lunch, and after dinner I smoked 2 cigerattes also at late night as I was working. I am worried.please suggest.is it due to gas or smoking or any other severe cause.
