my reason poor breathing

[nsd_user663_35168]

my reason was i couldnt breath, and got a scare , the scare i probably needed, im 37 and have smoked since i was 14 , was having problems breathing for 2 days and still smoked, pretty sure i had a chest infection , anyway got to 10 oclock at night and had my last cig , was struggling to breath and had major chest pains, really was worried , so that was the last cig , im now on day 45 of cold turkey and can breath fine without any issues , so there you go a great incentive:rolleyes:

HIya billybob

Im not trying to scare you but please tell your doctor about your symptoms and get them to send you to the chest clinic for x rays.

I was the same as you with a bad cough on top of it, it turns out Im in the early stages of copd. There are over a million sufferers of this in the uk but many have remained undiagnosed. I now have a dry powder inhaler that helps to open my bronchial tubes and also treats my copd. It isnt curable but can be stopped from progressing.

Please, please go to the doctor.
