I've been having problems with my breathing getting out breath .I packed up smoking it's been 4 years now I thought packing in smoking I would be better but no I'm worser. I had some x-rays . I had ct-scan .and a ecko of my heart found out my valve is thickening that's why I'm out of breath .told that if it gets any thicker I will need a valve transplant .I have occupation asthma.work related . Angina .you name it I have it I'm a walking time bomb .I take day by day . Thanks : A.J
