Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I have been smoking for 7 years (I m 25) and have been smoking cannabis for about 4 years. I have recently cut down on both because of feeling terrible shortness of breath, wheezing and needing to use inhalers more often. I ve also been getting periodic pain in my chest when I breathe in. Do you have any ideas as to what could be the problem? And could it be reversable?
Most of the body does recover from pre cessation condition in case of smoking. But you have to make a commitment now to leave it. No jugglery of words ,no tom-foolery of figures can convince you. The desire to breathe normally has to come from inside you. Just remember it doesn't come free. Godspeed.
