Breathing difficulty
Been a smoker on & off for last 8 years, and a regular one for last one year.
I've been trying to quit smoking.
Lately I've been experiencing difficulty in taking a full breath and have some tightness in the chest on the left side. I'm dreadful of it and anxious that it's my heart!
Googling the symptoms has worsened my anxiety even more.
Feels like I can't expand my lungs fully.
My nose feels congested all the time.
History : 28 M , overweight , ht: 5ft8inch.
Was diagnosed with grade 1 fatty liver last year.
