I am finding it difficult to breathe for past couple of days. I feel as if am short of oxygen and tends to take deeper breaths and keep yawning. I smoke around 5-6 ciggaretes a day and am a working professional. What can be the reason and cure for it.??
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more. Cigarette smoking is the most common risk factor for this. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Quit smoking as soon as possible. This will help you more than Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
