I have smoked in the past but quit last year when I found out I was pregnant. Ive had a few a day for a couple of weeks the past 2 weeks as I recently lost my dad but stopped again 4 days ago. Im still coughing and wheezing though especially night times and at times feel a bit short of breath.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done1. Chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test). Since you have started smoking again, this might trigger either bronchitis or infection in the lungs and caused you symptoms. So chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection.PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Better not to start smoking once you have left.
