Breathing gets harder during nights
I find it very hard to breathe when I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning. I also feel a pain in my center back when I try to breathe deeply. This morning I woke up with a terrible headache which gives a pulsating pain whenever I breathe in heavily. PS: I am a smoker
